Children sometimes present to an emergency department with severe illness which requires the insertion of a breathing tube into their windpipe and supporting their breathing with a mechanical ventilator (breathing machine). The insertion of the breathing tube is a high risk procedure due to both the severity of the child's illness and also the technical difficulty of inserting the tube. If the tube is not inserted successfully on the first attempt, there is an increased risk of the worsening of the child's condition and other serious complications.
