Comparison of the UEscope Video Laryngoscope with the Traditional Direct Laryngoscope in Neonates and Infants: A Randomized Clinical Trial.


ABSTRACT: The role of video laryngoscopy in adults is well established, but its role in children is still inconclusive. Previous studies on the UEscope in pediatric patients with difficult airways showed that it could reduce the time to intubation (TTI) compared to a conventional direct laryngoscope. The main objective of the current study was to investigate if the use of the UEscope could reduce the TTI in neonates and infants. Forty patients under 12 months old were recruited from a single tertiary hospital from March 2020 to September 2021 and were randomly assigned to the direct laryngoscope group (n = 19, neonates = 4, infants = 15) or UEscope group (n = 21, neonates = 6, infants = 15). Although the quality of glottic view was comparable in both groups, the TTI was significantly lower in the UEscope group in both the "intention-to-treat" (-19.34 s, 95% confidence interval = -28.82 to -1.75, p = 0.0144) and "as treated" (-11.24 s, 95% confidence interval: -21.73 to 0, p = 0.0488) analyses. The UEscope may be a better choice for tracheal intubation than conventional direct laryngoscope in neonates and infants.
