Airway management in simulated restricted access to a patient - can manikin-based studies provide relevant data?

摘要

BackgroundAlternatives to endotracheal intubation (ETI) are required when access to the cranial end of the patient is restricted. In this study, the success rate and time duration of standard intubation techniques were compared with two different supraglottic devices. Two different manikins were used for the study, and the training effect was studied when the same manikin was repeatedly used.
