Description
Summary:The competency of using video laryngoscopes (VL) for double-lumen tube (DLT) endobronchial intubations can be improved with constant training as assessed by measuring the learning curves. We hypothesized that the time to DLT intubation would be reduced over the intubation attempts. Forty-two novice medical students unfamiliar with DLT intubation were randomly allocated to two sequences, including DLT intubation using King Vision and McGrath VLs, in a randomized crossover manikin study. Each participant completed 100 DLT intubation attempts on both simulated airways using the study devices (25 attempts for each). The primary outcome was the time to DLT intubation. The secondary outcomes included the best glottic view, optimizing maneuvers, and intubation first-pass success. The learning curve for each participant was measured using the Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) analysis. [1,2] The use of King Vision VL was associated with significantly shorter time to DLT intubation (p
