Difficult airway simulation-based training for anaesthesiologists: efficacy and skills retention within six months.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to evaluate how anaesthesiologists manage a "cannot intubate, can ventilate" (CI) and "cannot intubate, cannot ventilate" (CICV) scenarios, and how following simulation training will affect their guideline adherence, skills and decision-making immediately after training and 6 months later.

Methods

A prospective controlled study was conducted from July to December 2022. Anaesthesiologists who applied for the continuous medical education course "Difficult Airway Management" were involved in the study. Each volunteer participated in two simulation scenarios (CI, CICV) with structural debriefing after each scenario. After the first simulation round, volunteers were trained in difficult airway management according to DAS guidelines, using the
