Abstract
Twenty-seven anaesthesia faculty, fellows and residents compared a standard intubating mannequin and an anaesthetized pig as models for teaching fibreoptic tracheal intubation. When likened to the clinical situation, the anatomic characteristics of the pig airway were rated as significantly more realistic than the airway characteristics of the mannequin with the exception of the appearance of the epiglottis. In addition, the overall score for the pig model was significantly higher than the score for the mannequin and 26 of 27 evaluators rated the anaesthetized pig as the more effective teaching model. We conclude that an anaesthetized, spontaneously breathing pig is a valid model for teaching fibreoptic endotracheal intubation. Vingt-sept patrons et résidents en anesthésie ont comparé éintubation endotrachéale par fibroscope utilisant un mannequin standard et un porc anesthésié. A éexception de éapparence de éépiglotte, les caractéristiques anatomiques des voies aériennes du porc se rapprochaient plus de la situation clinique que celles du mannequin. En plus, des intubations réussies avec le porc étaient significativement supérieures quľavec le mannequin et 26 des 27 évaluateurs ont caractérisé éintubation chez le porc anesthésié plus efficace pour éenseignement. On conclut quľun porc anesthésié, respirant spontanément est un modèle valable pour ľenseignement de éintubation endotrachéale par fibroscope.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
