New<scp>B</scp> for newbies: a randomized control trial training housestaff to perform neonatal intubation with direct and videolaryngoscopy

Abstract

Both standard teaching and computer module teaching of neonatal intubation on a mannequin model results in improved time to successful intubation and overall improved resident confidence with intubation equipment and technique. Although intubation times were lower with direct laryngoscopy compared to videolaryngoscopy, the participating residents felt that videolaryngoscopy is an important educational tool.
