– may increase the success of intubation on 1st attempt and result in fewer intubation attempts, but may not reduce the time required for successful intubation
– likely results in a reduced incidence of airway‐related adverse effectshttps://t.co/ney0pt8PnH pic.twitter.com/lc6bbDME7e— Cochrane Neonatal (@CochraneNeonate) May 12, 2023
