An Innovative Use of an Online Procedure Logbook to Improve Airway Training among Anesthesiology Residents

摘要

IntroductionWe performed a single-institution pilot study to determine the potential value of an electronic logbook of airway procedures performed during a one month airway rotation for anesthesiology residents. For two years, CA-3 residents taking an advanced airway management rotation entered all airway procedures in this electronic logbook. We expected this logbook to produce results of potential use to program directors by determining the numbers of specific procedures performed by each resident.
