Study compares two blades for safer intubation in newborns
NCT ID NCT05843565
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different video laryngoscope blades (straight vs. curved) in 39 newborns and small infants weighing up to 5 kg to see which gives doctors a better view of the airway. The goal is to find the best tool to make intubation safer and reduce complications like low oxygen or slow heart rate. The results will help guide which blade to use for these tiny patients.
