Contaminated Airway
Conditions
Brief summary
A study was formulated to test the hypothesis that comprehensive training in Suction- Assisted Laryngoscopy and Airway Decontamination techniques reduces mannequin intubation times for Anaesthesia trainees.
Detailed description
To assess the clinical impact of in Suction- Assisted Laryngoscopy and Airway Decontamination (SALAD) training among 37 anaesthesia trainees. Intubation mannequin will be used to assess intubation times for contaminated airways pre and post SALAD training.
