SummaryBackgroundThe study was designed to compare the effectiveness of 3 video laryngoscopes with the Miller laryngoscope during pediatric resuscitation.Material and methodsThis was a randomized crossover study involving 87 paramedics and 54 nurses. The primary end point of the study was the success rate of blind tracheal intubation, whereas the secondary end point was defined as the time from insertion of a device to the first manual ventilation of the manikin's lungs.ResultsThe median time to intubation using the Pentax, Truview, GlideScope, and Miller varied with the times being 20.6 (interquartile range [IQR], 18-27) vs 20.1 (IQR, 18-23.3) vs 30.2 (IQR, 29.6-35) vs 41.3 (IQR, 33-45.2) seconds, respectively. The overall success ratios of intubation for the devices were 100% vs 100% vs 100% vs 79.4%.ConclusionsWe concluded that, in a pediatric manikin scenario, the video laryngoscopes are safe devices and can be used for pediatric intubation during uninterrupted chest compressions. Further clinical studies are necessary to confirm these initial positive findings.
