Video laryngoscopy in neonate and infant intubation-a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to analyze the effect of video laryngoscopy on intubation success, time to intubation, and adverse events in infants and neonates. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed, for which a neonates (age less than 29 days) and infants (age less than 365 days) needing to be intubated were included. The main outcomes were first attempt success rate in the intubation, time to intubation, and adverse events. Evidence certainty was assessed according to GRADE. We included 13 studies. Seven studies with 897 patients focused on neonates, and the first attempt success rate was higher in the video laryngoscopy group (RR 1.18, CI: 1.03-1.36). Six studies included 1039 infants, and the success rate was higher in the video laryngoscopy group (RR 1.06, CI: 1.00-1.20). Time to intubation
