Abstract

Author’s conclusions: when intubating a newborn, videolaryngoscopy is successful in the first attempt more frequently than direct laryngoscopy.

Reviewers’ commentary: this trial offers results favouring videolaryngoscopy. However, it has some design limitations regarding blinding and control of some confounding variables and the difficulty to replicate some conditions in centers with less resources.
