[Endotracheal intubation with the GlideScope®, the Airtraq®, the McGrath® videolaryngoscope and direct laryngoscopy: a comparative study on an infant manikin].

Objective: The primary purpose of this experimental study was to compare intubation times for direct laryngoscopy with a Miller blade and for 3 VL: GlideScope® videolaryngoscope, Airtraq®, and McGrath®.

Methods: Seventy-seven operators, with various experience of pediatric tracheal intubation (from none to expert), performed 10 attempts of orotracheal intubation with each device on an infant manikin. The main outcome was intubation time and secondary outcome was failure rate.
