Direct laryngoscopy dates to 1849. Progress continued into the late 40s and beyond. Success in prehospital care varied. In the 1980s, video laryngoscopy arose and allowed greater visualization of the glottic opening and eventually recording. See it, record it. Additional airway adjuncts became available, such as supraglottic airways. All of these are dependent, to a variable degree, on the user’s skills and any time constraints. The presentation will traverse this timeline to the present. Video is becoming more of a standard of care, but cost is an issue. SGA is being brought to our BLS providers (I will present data), and there may be a way, in the near future, to combine all of these features into new cost-effective technology.
