Videolaryngoscopy in Neonatal Clinical Care
Endotracheal intubation is a life-saving procedure for many newborns. Historically, it has been achieved by obtaining an airway view through the mouth via direct laryngoscopy. It is a skill that takes time and practice to achieve proficiency. Increasing evidence for the benefit of videolaryngoscopy in adults and the new development of technology has allowed videolaryngoscopy to become a reality in neonatal care. Studies have examined its use as both a technique to improve intubation safety and success, and as a training tool for those learning the skill in this vulnerable population.
