In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Many newborn babies have difficulty breathing. When babies need a lot of help, a doctor will intubate them - i.e. put a tube into their windpipe (trachea) - so that they can be given support with a breathing machine. Intubation is a difficult procedure, during which many babies have falls in their blood oxygen levels and heart rate. When doctors intubate babies, they use a device called a laryngoscope to identify the entrance to the windpipe. A standard laryngoscope has a light at its tip. When doctors use this device, they insert it into the baby's mouth and then look directly into the mouth to find the entrance (direct laryngoscopy). Less than half of first attempts to insert a tube are successful using this device. More recently, video laryngoscopes have been developed. These devices also have a camera at the tip and display a magnified view of the entrance to the windpipe on a screen
