VCISpain: protocol for a prospective multicenter observational study to validate a standardized classification tool for tracheal intubation using videolaryngoscopy.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Videolaryngoscopy have transformed airway management by improving intubation success rates compared to direct laryngoscopy. However, its widespread adoption has been hindered by the lack of standardized classification tools for documentation and communication. This manuscript outlines the rationale and study design of the VCISpain project, which aims to evaluate the interobserver reproducibility of the Video Classification of Intubation (VCI) scale in the context of airway management using videolaryngoscopy in Spain.

Methods

This manuscript presents the planned methodology of the VCISpain study, a prospective, observational, multicenter, open-label study. The study will collect data on tracheal intubations performed in operating rooms, intensive care
