Summary

According to the recently published german guidelines for the prehospital airway management regular training for cricothyroidotomy is recommended.

Even though participants prefer animal or cadaver trainingmodels, it is not possible to perform this comprehensive for a large number of participants due to organizational requirements like food hygiene, limited shelf-life and preparation time and expense.

Therefore the investigators modified an available for purchase cricothyroidotomy trainer (the AirSim Combo X) with everyday suitable and cost-effective utensils.

As a control group the investigators used a conventional simple plastic model.
