Validation of the ORSIM simulator as an assessment method of anesthetists skills at placing a breathing tube in patients (intubation)

Validation of the ORSIM simulator by randomizing healthy volunteers, consisting of anesthetic nurses, anesthetic residents and consultant anesthesiologists, between control or intervention group (participants practice on the ORSIM for 10 minutes every six weeks) as an assessment method of anesthetists intubation skills by flexible bronchoscopy, through comparing results generated by the ORSIM simulator based on participants’ level of experience and effect of training through comparing results of the participants in the intervention and control group
