Summary

Tracheal intubation using videolaryngoscopy may be required in the prehospital setting, where airway management presents unique technical and logistical challenges. Intubation may be hard because novice providers performing videolaryngoscopy may only look at the screen and only obtain a two-dimensional representation of the patient's airways. By directly visualizing the airways, these providers may obtain a better 3D apprehension and an improved mental visualization of the patient's anatomy. We aim to compare the impact of a freely realized videolaryngoscopy sequence with a sequence consisting in direct visualization of the airway followed by videolaryngoscopy ("Direct Laryngoscopy-to-VideoLaryngoscopy sequence" or "DL-VL sequence") on time to intubation among novice providers.

Conditions

  • Tracheal Intubation

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Direct Laryngoscopy-to-VideoLaryngoscopy sequence

Participants will proceed with a double intubation technique sequence, first performing an initial direct laryngoscopy without looking at the video screen until they reached the epiglottis, then performing an indirect lryngoscopy for intubation.

PROCEDURE

Free use of videolaryngoscopy

Participants are free to use of the videolaryngoscope as they intended
