NCT00966524

Brief Summary

Purpose: This study is designed to assess the impact of teaching tracheal intubation using video-guided feedback on the ability to perform and maintain this clinical skill by medical students. Hypothesis: We hypothesise that, for novices, video-guided feedback provided during tracheal intubation will improve learning and retention of this clinical skill compared to standard teaching using direct visualization feedback.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Ease to intubate (time and number of attempts required to perform intubation) and retention of the competency (short and mid-term)

    Within a week and at 6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Medical students' satisfaction towards the teaching technique and their ability to perform tracheal intubation.

    At 6 weeks
