Filter by:Thirty residents in Anesthesia, year one and year two ,and Emergency Medicine Residents, and Family Practice Anesthetists and Emergency residents will undergo teaching in fiber-optic intubation. One half of the group will be randomized to a low fidelity simulator which consists of a wooden block with a series of holes, and the other to a high fidelity simulator, called the ORSIM , which provides a computerised model of the airway. They will practice the procedural skill of fiber-optic intubation on their assigned simulators. Cumulative sum method (CUSUM) learning curves and procedural Entrusted Professional Activities will be obtained for each resident on their assigned simulator. Following this , all residents will undergo a procedural entrusted professional activity with regard to fiber-optic intubation on a low risk , consented patient. The results of the learning curves, Simulator entrusted professional activity and Patient entrusted professional activity will be compared to assess if there is a difference between the low fidelity and high fidelity simulator groups.
