Checkout Procedure Before Airway Practices To Provide Clinical Practice With Video Based Feedback

Video-assisted feedback (VAF) is an educational method used by educators in various areas of medicine. It is possible to gain technical and non-technical skills for practical applications such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and surgical procedures . VAF is an objective proof of an individual's performance because by giving feedback it provides non debatable, accurate, real-time data. By allowing awareness on certain issues it helps correcting the mistakes . Studies have shown improvement in clinical skills after VAF .

Inaccurate or incomplete control of anesthesia equipment before use is associated with serious postoperative morbidity and mortality risk. For this reason, a number of control methods have been developed before the anesthesia application. This is one of these methods that checklists are created and repeated in intermittent periods.

American society of anesthesiologists (ASA) published a guideline to improve patient safety in 2008 . This guideline is summarized as mentioned below.

ASA Checklist:

1.Verify Auxiliary Oxygen Cylinder and Self-inflating Manual Ventilation Device are Available & Functioning 2: Verify patient suction is adequate to clear the airway 3: Turn on anesthesia delivery system and confirm that ac power is available 4: Verify availability of required monitors, including alarms. 5: Verify that pressure is adequate on the spare oxygen cylinder mounted on the anesthesia machine 6: Verify that the piped gas pressures are ≥ 50 psig 7: Verify that vaporizers are adequately filled and, if applicable, that the filler ports are tightly closed. 8: Verify that there are no leaks in the gas supply lines between the flowmeters and the common gas outlet 9: Test scavenging system function. 10: Calibrate, or verify calibration of, the oxygen monitor and check the low oxygen alarm.
