Video Laryngoscopy in Newborn Babies V1

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Our research questions are

1. Will the use of a video laryngoscope lead to decreased attempts

2. Does this result in more successful intubations and greater confidence in the supervisor and the team that a successful intubation has been performed.

Clinical Trial Description

Neonatal intubation is a technically difficult, but essential, skill to learn, involving passing a plastic tube through the vocal cords, into the trachea. Current practice involves using a laryngoscope to directly visualise the cords, however this technique does not allow the supervisor to witness the tube passing through the cords. Video laryngoscopes have a camera at the distal end of the blade, allowing an 85% viewing angle as opposed to 15% that is seen with direct view. In addition, the image is projected onto a screen, allowing all members of the team to visualise the intubation and therefore provide real time guidance as well as increased confidence in the outcome of the attempt. Video laryngoscopes are used in neonates in other specialities, for example Ear Nose and throat or respiratory physicians, and are becoming routinely used by neonatologists. The research questions are whether using a video laryngoscope will lead to decreased attempts, which in turn will potentially result in more successful intubations and greater confidence in the supervisor and the team that a successful intubation has been performed.

The aim is to recruit 40 babies and randomly allocate the participant to either direct laryngoscopy or video laryngoscopy for elective intubations. Number of attempts to successful intubation would be recorded, in addition to confidence of supervisor and the team regarding the outcome of the attempt. ;
