The placement of four different supraglottic airway devices by medical students: a manikin study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Although endotracheal intubation is the gold standard in airway management, this procedure requires both technical training and experience. Supraglottic airway devices are an alternative to endotracheal intubation and are simpler, less invazive, and require less time for placement compared with endotrakeal intubation. Aim of the study was to evaluate the success rates, ease of use, duration of application, and maneuver performance of different supraglottic airway devices (SADs) used by term-5 medical students on a manikin.
