Brief Summary

Covid-19 disease has caused a worldwide pandemic. However, it was necessary to reduce the transmission of the disease as much as possible. The highest risk of transmission is airway management. Medical personnel responsible for airway management are at the greatest risk. One of the most important ways to protect anesthetists from contamination is to use PPE. But, it should be considered that there is some disadvantage about using PPE. The investigators aimed to evaluate the effects of the use of personal protective equipment and standard uniform during airway management.

Conditions

Personal Protective Equipment; Airway Management

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Evaluation of times

  For intubations from holding the laryngoscope to ventilation, for laryngeal mask airway insertion from holding the laryngeal mask airway to ventilation For intubation time from holding the laryngoscope to observing glottic opening for standard uniform.

  2 minutes

• Evaluation of times

  For intubations from holding the laryngoscope to ventilation, for laryngeal mask airway insertion from holding the laryngeal mask airway to ventilation For intubation time from holding the laryngoscope to observing the glottic opening for personal protective equipment.

  4 minutes

• Evaluation of number of attempts

  For both intubation and laryngeal mask airway insertion, number of attempts until ventilation

  2 minutes

• Evaluation of presence of optimisation maneuver

  Whether there is optimisation maneuver for each attempt whether there is maneuver for each attempt

  30 seconds

• Evaluation of Modified Cormack/Lehane classification

  The classification includes 5 grades; grade 1, 2a, 2b, 3 and 4. Grade 1 defines the best image of glottis.

  30 seconds

• Evaluation of Percentage of Glottic Opening Scores

  Percentage of Glottic Opening describes the percentage of the glottic opening as percentages (0-100). Number 100 describes that the participants see all glottic openings. Number 0 describes that nothing is seen.

  30 seconds

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Visual Analog Scale of using personal protective equipment

  15 minutes
