Abstract:
Objective:To compare the clinical value of video laryngoscopy and conventional laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in neonatal resuscitation.Methods:From July 2018, 100 cases of premature or asphyxia infants born in our hospital requiring tracheal intubation were enrolled. The infants were randomly assigned into video laryngoscopy group and conventional laryngoscopy group with 50 cases in each group. The time needed for intubation, the first time success rate and complications associated with intubation were compared between the two groups.Results:The time needed for intubation (21.7±2.7)s vs.(23.7±1.8)s and the first time success rate [98.0% (49/50) vs. 86.0% (43/50)] were significantly better in the video laryngoscopy group than the conventional laryngoscopy group ( P<0.05). The incidence of intubation complications showed no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Using video laryngoscopy, the time needed for tracheal intubation is shorter and the first time success rate is higher, without more complications. Video laryngoscopy can be safely used in tracheal intubation of neonatal resuscitation.
