Primary outcomePrimary: Successful Endotracheal Intubation — 33.3; 83.3 % successful — p=.001

Summary

The use of the video laryngoscope to teach laryngoscopy will improve the performance of tracheal intubation done by novices because it will allow a shared view of the airway leading to a better feedback from the trainer to the trainee.
