Summary

The overall purpose of this study is to assess the impact of preclinical airway manikin training using the Airtraq Avant and Wireless Monitor System under simulated difficult airway conditions (c-collar and swollen tongue) on the clinical learning curve of using the device/system in airways with predictors for difficult intubation.

The investigators hypothesize that the clinical learning curve in airways with predictors for difficult intubation will be shorter for study subjects (operators) who undergo preclinical manikin training under simulated difficult airway conditions compared to Study subjects (operators) who do not receive this training. The clinical learning curve is characterized by procedure times and first attempt success rates on successive uses of the Airtraq Avant and Wireless Monitor System in patients with at least one predictor for difficult intubation.

Interventions

OTHER

Preclinical Manikin Training

During the preclinical manikin training, each subject will perform 10 intubations in a manikin with a difficult airway simulated by swelling the manikin tongue and placing it in a cervical collar.

OTHER

Inservice Training

Inservice training will include review of a product information handout and a video demonstration.
