Improved skill for tracheal intubation using optical stylets through remote training model: a before and after interventional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Conducting on-site, hands-on training during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been challenging. We conducted a before and after interventional study to estimate the efficacy of a new remote hands-on training model for improving the trainees' tracheal intubation competency using optical stylets.

Methods

Residents or physicians in anesthesiology apartment who have not received the nominated training in tracheal intubation using optical stylets were enrolled. The 4-week training course contains theoretical knowledge along with preclinical and clinical training of optical stylets techniques. Competency of intubation using optical stylets on patients with normal airways was evaluated according to an assessment tool with a maximum score of 29 points
