Study arms

  • Experimental
    Intubation without chest compressions

    Endotracheal intubation of pediatric mannikin during resuscitation without chest compressions.

    Device: McGrath · Device: MIL

  • Experimental
    Intubation with uninterrupted chest compressions

    Endotracheal intubation of pediatric mannikin during resuscitation with uninterrupted chest compressions. In order to simulate the difficulties associated with intubation during uninterrupted chest compressions, CPR was performed by using LUCAS-2 (Physio-Control, Redmond, WA, U.S.).
