ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to compare two methods of helping newborns breathe when they have trouble: using an intubating laryngeal mask and a technique called direct laryngoscopy. The study will take place using a manikin that looks and acts like a newborn baby. Researchers want to find out which method is more successful and quicker, as well as gather opinions from healthcare providers on how they feel about each approach.

Eligible participants for this trial are doctors and residents who work in a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), which is a specialized unit for caring for sick or premature newborns. There are no specific exclusions, so anyone meeting the criteria can take part. If you join the trial, you’ll have the chance to practice both intubation techniques on a manikin and share your thoughts on each method. This research is important because it could help improve care for newborns who need intubation in real situations.
