Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this study was to compare the Pentax AWS, Intubrite and AirTraq to Miller laryngoscope during pediatric resuscitation with and without chest compressions.

Full description

Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a life-saving procedure performed daily in emergency medicine. The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) 2010 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines suggest that intubators should be able to secure the airway without interrupting chest compression. However, ETI with uninterrupted chest compression in patients can be a very difficult skill to acquire.

Device: AirTraq

Device: Intubrite

Device: MIL

Device: AWS

Child ETI with chest compressions
