This is a randomized crossover mannequin study comparing two airway management techniques in novice operators: blind endotracheal intubation via the Tulip oropharyngeal airway versus direct laryngoscopy. The study aims to evaluate and compare the success rate and performance characteristics of both methods under simulated conditions in order to assess their effectiveness in airway management training and practice.
Voluntary participation in the study
Anesthesia technician students with no prior airway management experience
Age ≥ 18 years
Willingness to participate in simulation-based intubation procedures
Prior advanced airway management experience (e.g., regular intubation practice in clinical settings)
Refusal to participate or withdraw consent
Inability to complete simulation procedures for any reason
