Since 2000, many studies of advanced emergency airway management have appeared in the medical literature. Although most described patients in the operating room, intensive care unit or emergency department, studies of video laryngoscopy in the field are in progress and beginning to appear in the literature. Video laryngoscopy provides better views of the glottis, and it permits more successful intubations with fewer attempts. Price reductions as more devices, some specifically intended for EMS, enter the market will lower the entry costs for adoption. It is my prediction that in five years, video laryngoscopy will be the method of choice for endotracheal intubation in the field.
自2000年以来，医学文献中出现了许多关于高级紧急气道管理的研究。尽管大多数研究描述的是手术室、重症监护病房或急诊科的患者，但关于现场视频喉镜检查的研究正在进行中，并开始出现在文献中。视频喉镜能提供更好的声门视野，并且可以通过更少的尝试实现更成功的插管。随着更多设备（有些是专门为紧急医疗服务设计的）进入市场，价格降低将降低采用的入门成本。我预测，五年内视频喉镜将成为现场气管插管的首选方法。
