Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Construct validity was assessed by: 1.1. Determining the correlation, analysed with Spearman’s rank-order correlation test, between intubation experience and intubation score, measured with the scoring systems mentioned above. Intubation experience was measured just prior to the simulation, intubation score was measured during the simulated intubation 1.2. Evaluating the effect of feedback on intubation performance; to this end, we compared the intervention group to the control group regarding the difference in intubation scores between the first and second intubation. 2. Reliability of real-time assessment assessed by: the intra-rater reliability, expressed as Intraclass correlation coefficient, of the intubation scores obtained using real-time assessment and the intubation scores obtained using video-based assessment.	—
