Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Time to intubation	1 day	the time to intubation, defined as the time from insertion of the laryngoscope blade between the teeth to the first manual ventilation of the mannequin's lungs

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Success of intubation	1 day	success of the intubation attempt (i.e. tracheal or oesophageal placement of the tube) with was recorded when the success of the ventilation attempt was seen by the manikin's ventilation indicators.
Cormack-Lehan scale	1 day	self reported Cormack-Lehan scale during intubation
Dental compression	1day	dental compression, with was assessed using a visual scale grading the pressure applied on the upper teeth (n=none, mild=1, moderate=2, severe=3).
Ease of intubation (VAS)	1 day	To access subjective opinion about the difficulty of the each intubation method, participants were asked to rate it on a visual analogue scale (VAS) with a score from 1 (extremely easy) to 10 (extremely difficult).
