Objective To explore the effectiveness and safety of visual laryngoscopy in emergency patients with difficult tracheal intubation. Methods 88 emergency difficult tracheal intubation patients from January 2024 to October 2024 were selected and divided into an observation group (visual laryngoscope, 44 cases) and a control group (direct laryngoscope, 44 cases) to compare intubation indicators and complications. Results The intubation time and success rate of the observation group were (14.25 ± 3.12) s and 97.73%, respectively, which were better than those of the control group (25.68 ± 4.56) s and 81.82% (t=13.572, χ²=6.174, P<0.05); The incidence of complications in the observation group was 4.55%, which was lower than the control group’s 18.18% (χ²=4.423, P<0.05). Conclusion Visual laryngoscopy can improve the efficiency and safety of emergency difficult tracheal intubation.
