Brief Summary

Contrary to recent findings suggesting that stylets offer no advantage in general infant intubations, this study focuses on their potential benefits for premature infants undergoing elective or rescue intubation in the delivery room. The goal is to compare the safety and efficiency of intubations with or without a stylet.

Conditions
