To assess the educational and clinical impact of a tiny baby intubation team (TBIT). Retrospective study comparing endotracheal intubation (ETI) performed: pre-implementation of a TBIT (T1), 6 months post-implementation (T2), and 4 years post-implementation (T3). Post-implementation (T2), first-attempt success rate in tiny babies increased (44% T1; 59% T2, p = 0.04; 56% T3, p = NS) and the proportion of ETIs performed by residents decreased (53% T1; 37% T2, p = 0.001; 45% T3, p = NS). After an educational quality improvement intervention (prioritizing non-tiny baby ETIs to residents, systematic simulation training and ETI using videolaryngoscopy), in T3 residents' overall (67% T1; 60% T2, p = NS; 79% T3, p = 0.02) and non-tiny baby ETI success rate improved (72% T1; 60% T2, p = NS; 82% T3, p = 0.02). A TBIT improves success rate of ETIs in ELBW infants but decreases educational exposure of residents. Educational strategies may help maintain resident procedural competency without impacting on quality of care.
