Intubation training in neonatal patients: a review of one trainee's first 150 procedures.
The experience in performing intubation procedures gained by a single operator has been previously reported for adult, but not for neonatal patients. ⋯ Intubation success rate progressively improved with training year experience. A recommended level of proficiency, defined as 90% of procedure success, was obtained after 100 attempts suggesting that a significant amount of experience is needed for obtaining proficiency in neonatal intubation.
