Effectiveness of Video System in Improving Learning of Tracheal Intubation Using Standard Laryngoscopy Among Novices

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Intubation Intraesophageal

In brief

The use of the video laryngoscope to teach laryngoscopy will improve the performance of tracheal intubation done by novices because it will allow a shared view of the airway leading to a better feedback from the trainer to the trainee.
