Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Success of intubation [1 day]
effectiveness of first, second and third intubation attempts and overall effectiveness of intubation by participants
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Intubation time [1 day]
time in seconds required for a successful intubation attempt
- Cormack-Lehane grading [1 day]
self-reported percentage the vocal cord visualization using the Cormack-Lehane grading (grade 1-4)
- Preferred ETI device [1day]
participants were asked which method of ETI they would prefer in a real-life resuscitation.
