About

We hypothesized that the Intubrite Video Laryngoscope System VLS 6600 is beneficial for intubation of pediatric manikins while performing CPR. In the current study, we compared effectiveness of the Intubrite and MIL laryngoscopes in child resuscitation with and without CC.

100 participants in 2 patient groups

Intubation without chest compressions

Experimental group

Description:

Endotracheal intubation of pediatric mannikin during resuscitation without chest compressions.

Treatment:

Device: MIL

Device: Intubrite

Intubation with uninterrupted chest compressions

Experimental group

Description:

Endotracheal intubation of pediatric mannikin during resuscitation with uninterrupted chest compressions. In order to simulate the difficulties associated with intubation during uninterrupted chest compressions, CPR was performed by using LUCAS-2 (Physio-Control, Redmond, WA, U.S.).
