Summary

Endotracheal intubation is a critical intervention for newborn babies. Laryngoscopy is the crucial part of endotracheal intubation. Traditionally, operators use a standard laryngoscope to view the larynx by looking directly into the mouth (direct laryngoscopy). More recently videolaryngoscopes that have a video camera mounted at the tip of the laryngoscope blade have been developed, Rather than look directly into the mouth, the operator looks at a screen that displays the view acquired by the camera (indirect laryngoscopy). Videolaryngoscopes have been demonstrated to be useful for teaching trainees direct laryngoscopy. However, it may be that all clinicians are more successful with a videolaryngoscope. The investigators will compare whether clinicians who are randomly assigned to intubate newborn infants using a videolaryngoscope are more successful in intubating newborn infants at the first attempt compared to clinicians who are randomly assigned to intubate newborn infants using a standard laryngoscope.
