Brief Summary:
Endotracheal intubation is a life saving procedure where a tube is placed into a persons windpipe to help them to breathe This is a study of which shape of tube would lead to improved success in this procedure
Detailed Description:
Endotracheal intubation ETI is a lifesaving procedure It involves placing a tube in the patients airway to maintain ventilation and oxygenation
Simulation has been shown to be effective for medical procedural skills training Medical simulation literature now focuses on instructional design ID features that improve learning
There are multiple aspects of ETI technique and ID that can be modified to improve successful ETI Patient positioning mastery learning and dyad rather than solo practice are examples for which evidence exists to guide instructors Despite this ETI complication rates are substantial
Thus areas for continued improvement in ETI ID should be explored One area is the optimal endotracheal tube ETT shape achieved using a stylet for novices learning ETI for which there is limited evidence
The straight to cuff STC shape has been postulated to optimise views of the airway compared to an arcuate shape These shapes have only been directly compared as subgroups among multiple other comparisons in ETI technique in difficult intubations in one study This does not generalise well to educating novices such as medical students where intubations at normal difficulty are within the learners zone of proximal development and findings from subgroup comparisons are hypothesis generating rather than definitive evidence
This study will compare which shape is most likely to lead to successful endotracheal intubation when performed by novices medical students learning this procedure on mannequins
