Intubation During Resuscitation

Comparison of Four Types of Laryngoscope for Tracheal Intubation During Chest Compressions

The aim of the study was to compare time and success rates of four intubation devices ( in a cardiopulmonary scenario with uninterrupted chest compressions with a standardized manikin model.

The investigators hypothesized that fiberoscope laryngoscopes may improve success rates.
