The Hyperangulated versus Standard Geometry Laryngoscope Blade (ANGLE) Trial is a multi-center, non-blinded, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial evaluating the effect of use of a hyperangulated video laryngoscope blade versus use of a standard geometry video laryngoscope blade. Critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation in participating EDs and ICUs who meet eligibility criteria will be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either intubation using a hyperangulated video laryngoscope blade or a standard geometry video laryngoscope blade. The primary outcome is the incidence of successful intubation on the first attempt. The secondary outcome is incidence of hypoxemia during the interval between induction and 2 minutes after tracheal intubation.
