Templates as Cognitive Aids in Emergency Airway Equipment Preparation: the Template Airway Trial
- Conditions
- Airway Management
- Interventions
- Other: Endotracheal IntubationOther: Supraglottic Airway
- Registration Number
- NCT06400693
- Lead Sponsor
- Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz
- Brief Summary
Comparison of preparation times (in seconds) for emergency airway management (equipment only) with and without a template.
- Detailed Description
Comparison of time (in seconds) needed to prepare all necessary equipment for one form of emergency airway management with and without a template. Participants will be randomized to "preparation with template (A)" and "preparation without template (B)" and all participants will be measured twice for both arms A and B, however, evaluation will take place on two separate days. Methods of airway management evaluated will be endotracheal intubation, supraglottic airway device and oral fiberoptic intubation, with a total of three measurements per participant per study day and two study days per participant. Participants will be nurses in the intensive care unit and, as a control group, anesthesia nurses will also be evaluated in order to factor in the effects of experience. The study will take place in the usual work environment of participants and with the standard equipment.
