Brief Summary

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

Contrary to recent findings suggesting that stylets offer no advantage in general infant intubations, this study focuses on their potential benefits for premature infants undergoing elective or rescue intubation in the delivery room. The goal is to compare the safety and efficiency of intubations with or without a stylet.

Detailed Description

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

Recent studies have found that using a stylet does not offer any benefits during intubation across a diverse infant population. The research, however, specifically targets extremely and very premature infants undergoing elective or rescue intubation in the delivery room. A single-center retrospective observational study was conducted to compare the number of intubation attempts, the duration of intubation until successful, and the rate of associated desaturations exceeding 20%. The outcomes were determined through video recordings and statistical analysis.
