Anesthesia and analgesia·July 1, 2026·PMID 41698200

Why it matters

Infant intubation is technically challenging for trainees, and first-attempt failure can lead to hypoxemia and complications. This trial provides direct evidence that a commonly available video laryngoscope improves first-pass success and glottic visualization for novice providers in this high-risk population.
