Simulation based teaching of paramedics in endotracheal intubation: a mannequin study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Previous studies have shown a steep learning curve in endotracheal intubation using the Airtraq(R) for non skilled personnel. We examined 16 Danish paramedics’ ability to intubate by using the Airtraq(R). The paramedics went through a 1-day course at CeMS (Centre for Medical Simulation, the department of Anaesthesia, Aalborg, Denmark) with skill training and simulation based teaching with the Airtraq(R). The objective of the course was that the paramedics should be able to intubate in less than 30 seconds.

OBJECTIVES Airway control is the most critical treatment. The most common and basic method of endotracheal intubation is orotracheal intubation. To perform accurate and rapid tracheal intubation, appropriate education and training are required. We developed the virtual simulation program utilizing the 3-dimensional display and haptic device to exercise orotracheal intubation, and the educationa...
