Airway Obstruction
Conditions
Brief summary
The use of laryngeal mask airway or i-gel to manage airway may improve success rates, especially in difficult situations more than tracheal intubation.
Detailed description
This study compares the insertion success rate and insertion time among the proceal laryngeal mask airway, i-gel, and tracheal tube. Following a short lecture, airway novices try to insert proceal laryngeal mask airway, i-gel, and tracheal tube into manikin with difficult laryngoscopy scenarios.
Interventions

DEVICEtracheal tube
In tracheal tube group, tracheal tube is intubated by novices.
DEVICEi-gel
