About this study

To evaluate whether residents who receive guidance from a supervisor concurrently viewing the neonate's airway via video laryngoscopy will have a higher rate of successful neonatal intubations than residents receiving guidance using traditional direct laryngoscopy.

The investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial involving 48 first and second year pediatric and medicine-pediatric residents who received either video-facilitated (VDL) or traditional (TDL) supervisor guidance during direct laryngoscopy. Residents attempted intubations in the neonatal intensive care unit according to their randomization group. The primary outcome was a successful intubation that occurred within two attempts.

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. Number of residents with successful intubations on the first and subsequent patients

    Time frame: 12 months

  3. Average length of time of intubation attempts

    Time frame: 12 months

  4. Number of both serious and non-serious adverse events

    Time frame: 12 months

  5. Number of successful intubations by residency program
