The aim of the study was to compare time and success rates of four intubation devices in a cardiopulmonary scenario with and without chest compressions with a standardized pediatric manikin model.
Emergency airway management during resuscitation is a critical skill in emergency medicine. According to the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines for resuscitation 2010 , endotracheal intubation (ETI) is considered the gold standard during resuscitation.

RECRUITINGTime to intubation
time from insertion of the blade to the first manual ventilation of the manikin´s lungs. If time of intubation is over than 60 seconds, attempt was recognized as failure.
Time frame: 1 month
Success of intubation
effectiveness of the first, second and third intubation attempts and overall effectiveness of intubation by participants using four intubation devices. If the examinee failed at all attempts, the case was excluded from the time calculations.
Time frame: 1 month
VAS score
participants were asked which method they would prefer in a real-life resuscitation.
Time frame: 1 month
