A comparison of clinical simulation and classical learning for airway management in medical students: a randomized controlled trial
Not Applicable
- Conditions
- Medical simulation
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000026604
- Lead Sponsor
- Fundacion Santa Fe de Bogota. Anesthesiology department
- Brief Summary
The simulation group obtained significantly higher scores in ventilation (6.9 in control group and 7.4 in simulation group, p=0.046) but not in endotracheal intubation (5 in control group and 5.4 in simulation group, p=0.065). Incidence of complications showed no differences statistically significant: 2 in control group and 0 in simulation group (p=0.495 for esophageal intubation and p=1 oral trauma), as did successful intubation rates (78,4 % in control group and 92,2% in simulation group, p=0.091).
