Summary

The study is a randomized crossover study where anesthesia practitioners will intubate three different pediatric infant mannequins (normal airway, anterior larynx, Pierre Robin syndrome anatomy) using three different intubation devices (the Miller blade, the Truview VL, the Glidescope Cobalt video-laryngoscope) in two different scenarios (normal neck and with an immobile neck). The order of presentation will be randomized. As this is a cross over study, all subjects will complete all scenarios. There is no placebo group, and each subject wil be his or her own control.

Conditions

  • Intubation; Difficult

Interventions

DEVICE

Miller blade

To participate in the study the subjects must have \>500 intubations with the miller blade.

DEVICE

Truview PCD

Subjects were given a quick guide of the Truview PCD supplied by the manufacturer with step by step instructions for use. They were also given time to practice with the device on a normal model until they felt comfortable.

DEVICE

Glidescope Cobolt

Subjects were required to watch a instructional video provided by the manufacturer. Subjects were then allowed to practice on a normal model until they felt comfortable before beginning the study. There is no placebo group, and each subject wil be his or her own control.
