AbstractMany well described complications can result from endotracheal intubation in neonates during resuscitation. Ingestion of a laryngoscope bulb is a rare event with potentially serious consequences. We are reporting this unusual complication in a neonate during delivery room resuscitation and point to the importance of checking the integrity of the equipment prior to resuscitative efforts.
