Excerpt

Videolaryngoscopy (VL) is increasingly being used in intensive care units (ICUs) and may increase the chance of first-pass success when intubation is difficult [1‐3]. However, VL equipment may not always be available and direct laryngoscopy (DL) would then be required. While previous simulation studies demonstrated comparable retention of skills for DL versus VL in normal manikins [4, 5], it is unknown if VL training among physician trainees would lead to ineffective DL use for difficult intubation scenarios. We therefore aim to show if training using VL would lead to effective transfer of skills for difficult intubation using DL. …
