Intubation without chest compressions

Experimental group

Description:

Endotracheal intubation of pediatric mannikin during resuscitation without chest compressions.

Treatment:

Device: MIL

Device: McGrath

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.).
