Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Difficult Airway
Interventions
Device: Traditional simulator
Device: New training simulator
Registration Number
NCT05327842
Lead Sponsor
Tongji Hospital
Brief Summary

Flexible bronchoscope or videoscope plays important roles in managing difficult airway. But this technique is time-consuming and very difficult to learn for novices. The investigators design a simple training simulator to help them master this technique.

Detailed Description

In this study, residents without operational experience will be recruited. The training effect of the new simulator will be evaluated by comparison with traditional simulation teaching. Participants will receive training with the new simulator or traditional method for 1hour, and then they perform intubation with flexible videoscope in a simulated difficult airway model. The insertion time and success rate will be recorded. Last, they will complete the questionnaire.
