This randomized trial investigates whether anaesthesia residents can intubate the paediatric trachea more quickly and with a higher success rate using the King Vision\u2122 Paediatric aBlade\u2122 video laryngoscope (KVL) compared to conventional direct laryngoscopy (DL). Methods: Eleven anaesthesia residents (mean age: 31 years, mean training status 47 months) were each asked to perform intubations with the KVL and DL in paediatric patients. The primary outcome was the first-attempt success rate. Secondary outcomes were the time to best view (TTBV), time to placement of the tracheal tube (TTP), time to ventilation (TTV), and participant-reported ease of use on a Likert scale. Results: 105 intubations with the KVL and 106 DL were performed by the residents. The success rate on the first attempt with the KVL was 81%, and the success rate on the first attempt within a given time limit of 30 s was 45%, which was lower than with DL (93% and 77% with time limit, p &lt; 0.01). The median TTBV [IQR] on the first attempt with KVL was 7 [5\u201310] s, the median TTP was 28 [19\u201344] s, and the median TTV was 51 [39\u201366] s. DL-mediated intubation was significantly faster (TTP: 17 [13\u201323] s; p &lt; 0.0001 and TTV: 34 [28\u201344] s; p &lt; 0.001). Application of the KVL was rated as difficult or very difficult by 60% of the residents (DL: 5%). Conclusion: In contrast to promising data on the paediatric training manikin, residents took longer to intubate the airway in children with the KVL and were less successful compared to the DL. Therefore, the KVL should not be recommended for learning paediatric intubation by residents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11195676","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,28]],"date-time":"2022-09-28T01:51:49Z","timestamp":1664329909000},"page":"5676","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Video Laryngoscopy Using King Vision\u2122 aBlade\u2122 and Direct Laryngoscopy in Paediatric Airway Management: A Randomized Controlled Study about Device Learning by Anaesthesia Residents"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7214-0630","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katharina","family":"Epp","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, University Medical Centre of the Johannes Gutenberg-University, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sophie","family":"Zimmermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, University Medical Centre of the Johannes Gutenberg-University, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7180-4848","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eva","family":"Wittenmeier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, University Medical Centre of the Johannes Gutenberg-University, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7350-7908","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marc","family":"Kriege","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, University Medical Centre of the Johannes Gutenberg-University, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frank","family":"Dette","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, University Medical Centre of the Johannes Gutenberg-University, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8743-6752","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Irene","family":"Schmidtmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medical Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Informatics, University Medical Centre of the Johannes Gutenberg-University, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7741-2885","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nina","family":"Pirlich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, University Medical Centre of the Johannes Gutenberg-University, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-2600(15)00508-1","article-title":"Airway management complications in children with difficult tracheal intubation from the Pediatric Difficult Intubation (PeDI) registry: A prospective cohort analysis","volume":"4","author":"Fiadjoe","year":"2016","journal-title":"Lancet Respir.
