AB A  full-term  baby  is  born  with  an  initial  APGAR  score  of  4.  While  stimulating  the  neonate,  the  neonatologist  observes  a  heart  rate  less  than  100  bpm  with  poor  chest  movement,  and  therefore  proceeds  to  intubate  the  trachea.  After  two  failed  attempts  with  a  Miller  0  and  1  blade,  with  no  clear  view  of  the  vocal  cords,  you  are  called  to  help  with  airway  management.  The  neonate  is  tachypneic  with  signs  of  upper  airway  obstruction.  The  oxygen  saturation  is  88%  at  10  minutes  with  an  oral  airway  and  continuous  positive  airway  pressure  delivered  via  a  bag  valve  mask.  What  are  your  concerns  and  how  would  you  manage  this  child’s  airway?
