About this trial

Emergency front of neck access (eFONA) in a non-ventilated, non-oxygenated (CVCO) patient scenario is a life-saving and important competency for anesthesiologists to learn and even repeat intermittently. The Difficult Airway Society (DAS) guideline does not elaborate on how to conduct eFONA training, while the Canadian guideline states that successful performance of such rarely used skills requires regular practice in a simulation environment that focuses on technique and provides expert feedback. In this guideline, it was also mentioned that during training, procedures can be repeatedly performed in a simulate environment and interrupted for immediate feedback. In line with these recommendations, the investigators will create an easy, inexpensive, feasible and repeatable simulation-based learning environment in the operating room of the hospital. In this model study, it is aimed to teach the cricothyrotomy technique to anesthesiologists who have no experience in eFONA with an easy set up and to increase the confidence of the participants in this subject.
