简要总结
Fiberoptic-assisted intubation is an advanced skill that requires learners' practice as well as clinical experience during the anesthesiology residency training period. Current training methods including airway simulators and virtual reality software are used by medical schools worldwide.
The objective of this study is to compare the learner's fiberoptic intubation performance between training with a 3D-printed simulator and a virtual reality software.
详细描述
Fiberoptic-assisted intubation (FOI) is an essential skill of an anesthesiologist. It requires comprehensive knowledge of the airway anatomy and the proper and skillful use of a fiberoptic bronchoscope.
Fiberoptic-assisted intubations are usually performed in emergency situations and during difficult airway patient encounters. These situations are not ideal for learners to properly practice the skill.
The process of acquiring FOI skills includes teaching by experienced instructors, self-practice using commercially-available airway simulators, and practicing on virtual reality software.
The airway simulators and virtual reality software have their advantages and disadvantages.
In this randomized study, the investigators will compare the fiberoptic intubation skill among anesthesiology residents after self-training on a custom-made 3D simulator and self-training on a virtual reality software.
