Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: among infants undergoing endotracheal intubation at two Australian tertiary neonatal intensive care units, nasal high-flow therapy during the procedure improved the likelihood of successful intubation on the first attempt without physiological instability in the infant.

Reviewers´ commentary: the results of this study show that the use of nasal high-flow oxygen therapy during neonatal oral intubation is effective and safe, especially among operators with little experience. This technique can be easily implemented in clinical practice and can be generalized to units with access to this equipment.
