About this trial
This is a randomized crossover mannequin study comparing two airway management techniques in novice operators: blind endotracheal intubation via the Tulip oropharyngeal airway versus direct laryngoscopy. The study aims to evaluate and compare the success rate and performance characteristics of both methods under simulated conditions in order to assess their effectiveness in airway management training and practice.
