About

In Pediatric both manikin and human studies have suggested that the video laryngoscopy is equally suitable to facilitate intubation compared to the direct laryngoscopy.

Full description

The King Vision Pediatric aBlade is a novel video laryngoscopy for securing the airway of new born and infants. In this manikin studie we want to compare different types of video laryngoscopes in a simulated normal and difficult infant airway.
