Effectiveness of Child Intubation

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Cardiac Arrest
• Interventions: Device: Intubrite; Device: MIL

• Registration Number: NCT02289638
• Lead Sponsor: International Institute of Rescue Research and Education

Brief Summary

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.

Group	Intervention	Description
Intubation without chest compressions	MIL	Endotracheal intubation of pediatric mannikin during resuscitation without chest compressions.
Intubation without chest compressions	Intubrite	Endotracheal intubation of pediatric mannikin during resuscitation without chest compressions.
Intubation with uninterrupted chest compressions	Intubrite	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.).
