Video versus direct laryngoscopy to improve the success rate of nasotracheal intubations in the neonatal intensive care setting: a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess whether video laryngoscopy (VL) for tracheal intubation of neonates results in a higher first-attempt success rate and fewer adverse tracheal intubation-associated events (TIAEs) when compared with direct laryngoscopy (DL).

Design

Single-centre, parallel group, randomised controlled trial.

Setting

University Medical Centre Mainz, Germany.

Patients

Neonates <44^0/7 weeks postmenstrual age in whom tracheal intubation was indicated either in the delivery room or in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Intervention

Intubation encounters were randomly assigned to either VL or DL at first attempt.

Primary outcome

First-attempt success rate during tracheal intubation.

Results

Of 121 intubation encounters assessed for eli
