Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Effectiveness of using HFS compared to LFS in improving the technical skills in intubating a neonate, measured by the successful passage of endotracheal tube beyond the vocal cord after the training course and 9-12 months after	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Time taken to intubate is measured using stopwatch seconds at baseline, after the training course and 9-12 months after 2. Correct placement of the tube in a neonate is measured using a validated 13-item checklist score at baseline, after the training course and 9-12 months after	—
