AbstractThe major complications of paediatric airway management are uncommon, but the outcomes are often severe. Over the last decade, additions and advancements in the devices and technology have significantly improved our ability to manage difficult paediatric airways safely. Videolaryngoscopy involves the use of video and optical technology to facilitate indirect visualisation of the larynx during intubation and has been seen as an evolutionary step in intubation technology. Over the past few years, videolaryngoscopes have been receiving plenty of attention as new airway devices for use in paediatric patients. The objective of this narrative review is to specify the existing clinical evidence regarding the efficiency and safety of videolaryngoscopy in paediatric airway management.Copyright © 2018 Société française d'anesthésie et de réanimation (Sfar).
