Comparison of a Besdata Video Laryngoscope With a Direct Laryngoscope in Neonates and Infants of 6 Months of Age—A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors' conclusion
The Besdata video laryngoscope with a zero-size Miller blade has shown a similar intubation time when compared with a conventional laryngoscope in neonates and infants of 6 months of age.
Study context
- Population
- Neonates and infants 6 months of age scheduled for elective surgery requiring endotracheal intubation
- Participants
- 80 neonates
- Comparison
- Besdata video laryngoscope vs direct laryngoscope
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Time taken for intubation
- Median difference in intubation time
- 0.0 s [−4.0 to 5.0] (95% CI)
- Similar in both groups
- P = 0.35

Percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score and need for external laryngeal manipulation
- Better POGO scores and decreased need for optimal external laryngeal manipulation with VL
