Randomized controlled trial to evaluate the rate of successful neonatal endotracheal intubation performed with a stylet versus without a stylet

CONCLUSION: Endotracheal intubation using a stylet did not significantly improve the success rate of the procedure, however, intubation time significantly varied between groups and in different conditions. The rigidity and curvature provided by the stylet may facilitate the process of intubation when smaller caliber endotracheal tubes are used.PMID:38305632 | DOI:10.1111/pan.14845
