Placement of Four Different Supraglottic Airway Devices by Medicine Faculty Students: A Manikin Study

When tracheal intubation and face mask ventilation fail, and the insertion of supraglottic airway devices (SHA) can provide ventilation, protecting the patient from hypoxemia. Supraglottic airway devices have become an important part of difficult airway algorithms. The European Resuscitation Council Guidelines recommend supraglottic airway devices for airway management by non-specialized healthcare providers. Education through simulators contributes to the development of students without direct contact with patients. In this study, it was aimed to compare the success of placement of four different supraglottic airway devices on the manikin of term 5 students who participate to the Anesthesiology and Reanimation internship.
