Pediatric Endotracheal Intubation (EMS)

December 4, 2014 updated by: Lukasz Szarpak, International Institute of Rescue Research and Education

Comparing the Novel McGrath MAC EMS Videolaryngoscope With Conventional Direct Laryngoscopy During Child Resuscitation: a Randomized Crossover Mannequin Study of Paramedic Students

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

Participant Group / 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.).
