Treatment and study plan

Macintosh laryngoscope

Device

Direct-Laryngoscopy

TruView PCD Video laryngoscope

Device

Video-Laryngoscopy

Primary outcomes

  1. Time to intubation

    Time frame: 1 day

    the time to intubation, defined as the time from insertion of the laryngoscope blade between the teeth to the first manual ventilation of the mannequin's lungs

Secondary outcomes

  1. Success of intubation

    Time frame: 1 day

    success of the intubation attempt (i.e. tracheal or oesophageal placement of the tube) with was recorded when the success of the ventilation attempt was seen by the manikin's ventilation indicators.

  2. Cormack-Lehan scale

    Time frame: 1 day

    self reported Cormack-Lehan scale during intubation

  3. Dental compression

    Time frame: 1day

    dental compression, with was assessed using a visual scale grading the pressure applied on the upper teeth (n=none, mild=1, moderate=2, severe=3).

  4. Ease of intubation (VAS)

    Time frame: 1 day

    To access subjective opinion about the difficulty of the each intubation method, participants were asked to rate it on a visual analogue scale (VAS) with a score from 1 (extremely easy) to 10 (extremely difficult).
