Impact of Stress on Performance of Neonatal Endotracheal Intubation

NCT02758704 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 58

Summary

This study will be a randomized controlled trial designed to analyse the impact of stress on the success rate of a simulated neonatal endotracheal intubation. To do this, pediatric residents will be enrolled and randomized to either a high-stress (HS) or low-stress (LS) environment where they will be asked to perform a standard neonatal intubation procedure. Subjects will then cross-over to the second scenario within a short window (1-2 weeks). Outcome measures include: endotracheal intubation success rate and assessment of the procedure performance by video-review using a standardized checklist rated by two independent reviewers. Stress level will be measured using salivary cortisol, heart rate and a standardized anxiety questionnaire.
