Device with camera in orotracheal intubation training: possibility of medical education a pandemic period

Abstract

Introduction: The orotracheal intubation is an important procedure in airway management, especially when performed in emergency situations. Video-laryngoscopy is an artifice that facilitates visualization of the glottis, aiding intubation. Objective: This study aimed to attach a video camera to a conventional Macintosh-type laryngoscope to enable and train intubation or otracheal training. Method: The use of a camera coupled to a conventional laryngoscope allows direct and indirect visualization of the glottis. Camera images can be transmitted over wi-fi and shared to electronic devices and platforms, aiming at teaching in person or remotely about orotracheal intubation. Result: The use of the device as a method of teaching intubation or otracheal, allows teaching to teach the theory of procedure and training the execution performed by the artisanal method. This feedback in the practical training of orotracheal intubation in mannequins can be performed in person or remotely. Conclusion: The use of handcrafted video laryngoscopy device in medical education is a low-cost tool to improve conventional orotracheal intubation training.
