“…One of the authors (K.B.G.) has proposed an airway concept, 9 relating different head and neck positions to changes in airway configuration. The airway passage may be considered as a Bézier spline (a parametric curve used to model smooth paths that can be controlled by adjusting a selection of points on the curve and the tangents to these points) rather than the alignment of three straight lines or axes.…”

“…The idea of 'axes of alignment' was introduced by Bannister and Macbeth in 1944, 60 a year after Macintosh described his laryngoscope. 61 Greenland suggested considering this as two curves (oro-pharyngeal and pharyngo-glotto-tracheal) may be more useful 62 with VLs serving to move the eye along the primary curve. This has been disputed as the complete theory of laryngoscopy and intubation, 63 but it offers an effective way to consider videolaryngoscopy, and the shaping of a stylet or bougie should tube insertion prove difficult.…”

In the last 25 yr, there have been several advances in the safe management of the airway. Videolaryngoscopes and supraglottic airways, now in routine use by new trainees in anaesthesia, have had their genesis in the recent past. The 4th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and the Difficult Airway Society published in 2011 a seminal report that has influenced airway management worldwide . Understanding how the report's recommendations were constructed and how clinical guidelines compliment rather than contradict them is important in understanding the tenets of safe airway management. Over the last 25 yr there has been an increasing understanding of the effects of human factors in anaesthesiology: we may not perform in a predictable or optimal manner when faced with unusual and threatening challenges. The place of cricoid pressure in anaesthetic practice has also evolved. Current recommendations are that it be applied, but it should be released rapidly should airway difficulty be encountered. The need to prevent hypoxaemia by preoxygenation has long been recognized, but the role of high-flow nasal oxygen in anaesthesia is now being realized and developed. Clinicians must decide how novel therapies and long-standing practices are adapted to best meet the needs of our patients and prevent harm during airway management.

An active training system is characterized by providing quantitative information of the trainee's performance of the task to the trainee, simulating real-world conditions of the task, and assuring training effectiveness. For this purpose, the authors have been developing an Airway management training system. In particular, we have previously presented an evaluation model system to acquire quantitative information for the trainee's performance, and an actuated model system for real-world conditions of the task. In order to fulfill all of the characteristics of the active training system; in this paper, we would like to propose an integrated system, Waseda Kyotokagaku Airway No.3 (WKA-3) which integrates the function of both system models. For this reason, we have focused on embedding sensors and actuators with the link drive mechanism and the wire drive mechanism to a conventional patient model towards the development of a patient robot. In this paper, we present WKA-3 how to design the mechanism and how to redesign several organs to embed the sensors for the measurement of the trainee's performance. A set of experiment have been carried out to doctor subjects using the WKA-3 to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system by asking doctors to evaluate the proposed system.
