 Nasal versus oral intubation for mechanical ventilation of newborn infants
The procedure of intubation may be technically difficult (Dankle 1987) for both the oral and nasal routes, and for infants who weigh less than 1000 gram or greater than 3000 gram (Noblett 1995).
Therefore determining the complications associated with the different routes of intubation is deemed important for clinical practice and good patient outcomes.
The purpose of the review was to assess the effect of the route of intubation (nasal or oral) on the incidence of complications in newborn infants who were intubated for mechanical ventilation.

 Prediction and Management of Difficult Tracheal Intubation (page 1)

 Tracheal Intubation: Training and Retention
When tracheal intubation is attempted by providers with insufficient skill, the following complications may be seen: trauma to the oropharynx, ventilation withheld for unacceptably long periods, delayed or withheld chest compressions, esophageal or bronchial intubation, failure to secure the tube, and failure to recognize misplacement of the tube.
These questions and the discussion of the importance of cognitive knowledge and the identification of critical errors will be of interest to health care professionals involved with airway management training and supervision.
These circumstances of limited experience and no advanced training may lead to a poor intubation success rate and a high incidence of complications.
