We hypothesized that the video-laryngoscopes are beneficial for intubation of pediatric manikins while performing CPR. In the current study, we compared effectiveness of two video-laryngoscopes (the Coopdech video Laryngoscope portable VLp-100 and the Flexible Videoendoscope: ATMOS Scope) and optical-laryngoscope (the AirTraq) during resuscitation with uninterrupted chest compressions using an child manikin.
