Summary

There are two new instruments on the market that anesthesiologists use when putting a breathing tube into the lungs of patients. The purpose of this study is to see how easily anesthesiologists can learn to use them in children.

Detailed description

Each anesthesiologist performed 20 timed baseline intubations. They were then randomized to perform 20 timed intubations with one of the two new videolaryngoscopes followed by 20 with the other new videolaryngoscope. The goal was to see how quickly they could become proficient.
