Study Description

Brief Summary

We hypothesized that the McGrath MAC EMS is beneficial for intubation of pediatric manikins while performing CPR. In the current study, we compared effectiveness of the McGrath MAC EMS and MIL laryngoscopes in child resuscitation with and without CC.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Intubation without chest compressions

Endotracheal intubation of pediatric mannikin during resuscitation without chest compressions.

Device: McGrath
video-laryngoscopy
Other Names:
  • McGrath MAC EMS
  • Device: MIL
    direct-laryngoscopy
    Other Names:
  • Miller Laryngoscope
  • Experimental: Intubation with uninterrupted chest compressions

    Endotracheal intubation of pediatric mannikin during resuscitation with uninterrupted chest compressions. In order to simulate the difficulties associated with intubation during uninterrupted chest compressions, CPR was performed by using LUCAS-2 (Physio-Control, Redmond, WA, U.S.).

    Device: McGrath
    video-laryngoscopy
    Other Names:
  • McGrath MAC EMS
  • Device: MIL
    direct-laryngoscopy
    Other Names:
  • Miller Laryngoscope
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Success of intubation [1 day]

      effectiveness of first, second and third intubation attempts and overall effectiveness of intubation by participants

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Intubation time [1 day]

      time in seconds required for a successful intubation attempt

    2. Cormack-Lehane grading [1 day]

      self-reported percentage the vocal cord visualization using the Cormack-Lehane grading (grade 1-4)
