About this trial

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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Voluntary participation in the study

Anesthesia technician students with no prior airway management experience

Willingness to participate in simulation-based intubation procedures

Disqualifiers

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

Trial design
