Use of Point-of-View Camera to Faciliate Learning of Endotracheal Intubation

NCT04477044 | Completed

Brief Summary

The study team proposes that mounting a point-of-view camera on the student's head will enable the team to view what the student is seeing in real-time when intubating with a normal laryngoscope. This will allow the team to guide the students accurately. When used in conjunction with the established simulation programme in the department, it is believed that this will improve the learning and retention of this skill when compared to standard teaching.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Intubation Timing between GoPro and non-GoPro group at first intubation session

  To record the difference in time taken for successful intubation of the manikin between the GoPro and non-GoPro group

  During procedure of first intubation session

• Intubation Timing between GoPro and non-GoPro group at 3 months follow-up session

  To record the difference in time taken for successful intubation of the manikin between the GoPro and non-GoPro group

  During procedure of 3-month follow-up session

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Usefulness of GoPro in learning

  Immediately after first intubation tryout session and follow-up session 3 months later
