NCT ID NCT05055401
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested 62 anesthesia providers (doctors and nurses) on how quickly and successfully they could place a breathing tube or airway device using three common techniques on a medical mannequin. The goal was to see how skilled providers are under normal and difficult conditions. The results help identify training needs and improve patient safety during anesthesia.
