A randomized controlled crossover trial of intubation using direct and video laryngoscopes at two different table elevations (operator\u2019s xiphoid or navel) in a neonatal manikin model. Thirty-two neonatologists and pediatric residents participated. The primary outcome measure was the force applied to epiglottis and palate of neonatal manikin during intubation. The secondary outcome measures included success of the first attempt, intubation time, and participants\u2019 opinion on the procedures. Intubating the neonatal manikin with the videolaryngoscope and the resuscitation table leveled at operator\u2019s navel was associated with the lowest forces applied to the epiglottis and the hard palate. On the other hand, the combination of direct laryngoscope and resuscitation table leveled at operator\u2019s xiphoid was associated with the highest applied forces. The success rate at the first attempt and the intubation time were not statistically different among the combinations of laryngoscopes and table elevations. In contrast to actual measurements, most participants believed to have used less forces when the table leveled at operator\u2019s xiphoid.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n
