Brief summary
Comparision of direct laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy to learn successful tracheal intubation by novices in anaesthesiology
Detailed description
Video laryngoscopy has been recommended as an alternative during difficult conventional direct laryngoscopy using the Macintosh blade. However, successful visualisation of the larynx and tracheal intubation using some of the indirect laryngoscopes or video laryngoscopy requires hand-eye coordination. To best of our knowledge in the current literature there are no data how is the best educative way to learn successful tracheal intubation by novices in anaesthesiology.
Interventions
In a randomized order we evaluate the first pass success rate of the tracheal tube into the trachea.
DEVICEVideolarygoscopy
In a randomised order we evaluate the first pass success rate of the tracheal tube into the trachea.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| First pass success rate | at intubation in 60 seconds | successful tracheal intubation at the first attempt, compared to more than one attempt |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Time to ventilation | at intubation in 120 seconds | From Insertion of the blase into the mouth until first ventilation |
| Cormack and Lehane Classification | at intubation in 120 seconds | after insert the device the user describe the glottis visualisation |
| Overall success rate | at intubation in 120 seconds | after two attempts using defined rescue techniques (e.g. rigid stylet, laryngeal mask) |
| Subjective Training Process | at one month | after 25 intubation attempts |
