Elements of Airway Training

Eleni Αrnaoutoglou

Abstract: Little research has been conducted into the topic of training in sedation for endoscopic procedures. In addition, a review of the literature did not reveal any published studies regarding the elements of airway training for endoscopists. From the anesthesiology published data, it seems that common methods for airway management training include theoretical instructions and hands-on sessions on anesthetized patients, manikins or simulators. Retraining is necessary in order to maintain knowledge and to refresh an… Show more

Introduction: Failure of airway management remains a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Advanced airway management has been addressed effectively by simulation-based training. However, simulation of difficult airways in manikins is limited by the pre-set conditions provided by the manufacturer. Life-like conditions in the form of the softness of the tissue and true anatomy as seen in cadaver models are needed to create simulated models with a closer resemblance to real patients. The goal of this study was to determine the feasibility of simulating difficult airway from submandibular abscess in cadaver models by surgical modification of the cadaver heads for use in enhanced experiential learning of the management of difficult airways. Methods: The cadaver heads were modified surgically to simulate a submandibular abscess. The models were used in an airway course where participants provided feedback on the realistic nature of the model and its benefits for difficult airway training. The ease of tracheal intubation of the models with the assistance of video laryngoscopy was assessed.Results: The modified cadavers were acceptable in simulating difficult airway as demonstrated by the feedback from the participants. All participants (100% [95% confidence interval = 89.1%-100%]) found the models to be realistic and beneficial for difficult airway training. A good proportion (56.3%) felt that the intubation technique was made easier with the video laryngoscopy. Conclusions: Cadavers can be modified to simulate pathologies associated with difficult airways. These models can be used to enhance experiential learning and the management of difficult airways.
