| Summary: | OBJECTIVE
The Airway Section of the Spanish Society of
Anaesthesiology, Resuscitation, and Pain Therapy (SEDAR),
the Spanish Society of Emergency Medicine (SEMES), the
Latin American Federation of Emergency Medicine (FLAME)
and an international group of airway experts (IAG) aimed to
establish multidisciplinary recommendations advocating for
the universal use of videolaryngoscopy (VL) in both emergency and planned care settings.
DESIGN
A committee of experts from the two national
scientific societies and an international group of airway experts
was convened. Relevant research questions aligning with the
document’s objective were identified. A rapid systematic
review of the evidence was performed, and the quality of
evidence was assessed. Recommendations were formulated
using the GRADE methodology (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) The entire
process was conducted independently of industry funding.
METHODS
Six domains were defined pertaining to VL:
Clinical Benefits; Infrastructure and Accessibility; Clinical
Guidelines and Protocols; Teaching and Clinical Training;
Dissemination and Promotion of Clinical Benefits; Innovation, Sustainability, and Research. For each domain, specific questions were developed using the PICO model (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes). A literature search was conducted following PRISMA-R guidelines and analysed using the GRADE methodology.
RESULTS The synthesis process resulted in 12 recommendations. Due to the low quality of available evidence, most recommendations were formulated based on expert opinion.
CONCLUSION
The experts achieved strong consensus, formulating 12 recommendations to support strategies aimed at universalising the use of videolaryngoscopy. |
