EMS: Pediatric Endotracheal Intubation
Study Details
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.

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.). |
