3D-Printed airways boost student intubation skills
NCT ID NCT07612995
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways of teaching medical students how to perform endotracheal intubation (placing a breathing tube). One group uses a new curriculum with CT-based 3D models and 3D printing, while the other group learns through traditional lectures. The goal is to see if the 3D approach improves success rates and confidence. About 80 students will take part.
