Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Change in patient-imagined self-efficacy for video laryngoscope intubation. The question is: "How confident are you in performing video laryngoscope (McGRATH) intubation under the supervision of an attending physician in an actual patient setting?" A 1-10 numeric rating scale will be used. The change score will be calculated as T1-T0 in the control group and T2-T0 in the intervention group, and compared between groups.	—
