Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study aims to compare the success and time of intubation through an intubating laryngeal mask vs. direct laryngoscopy in a manikin simulating a term infant. In addition, we will assess the operator's opinion on the procedure.

This is an unblinded, randomized, controlled, crossover (AB/BA) pilot trial of intubation procedure through intubating laryngeal mask vs direct laryngoscopy in a manikin simulating a term newborn.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background: Endotracheal intubation is an important life-saving procedure for critically ill neonates. Furthermore, the procedure times are often longer than recommended by international guidelines, and repeated intubation attempts are associated with adverse events in unstable neonates.

Objectives: To compare success and time of intubation through intubating laryngeal mask vs. direct laryngoscopy in a manikin simulating a term infant. In addition, we will assess the operator's opinion on the procedure.

Methods: This is an unblinded, randomized, controlled, crossover (AB/BA) pilot trial of intubation procedure through intubating laryngeal mask vs direct laryngoscopy in a manikin simulating a term newborn. Participants will be level III NICU consultants and residents. Randomization will be performed using a computer-generated random assignment list. The primary outcome measure was the intubation success rate at the first attempt. Secondary outcome measures were the total time needed for the endotracheal tube positioning (calculated as the sum of the time of device positioning in all attempts), and the participant's opinion on using the device (evaluated using a Likert scale).
