Study Summary

Thirty residents in Anesthesia, year one and year two ,and Emergency Medicine Residents, and Family Practice Anesthetists and Emergency residents will undergo teaching in fiber-optic intubation. One half of the group will be randomized to a low fidelity simulator which consists of a wooden block with a series of holes, and the other to a high fidelity simulator, called the ORSIM , which provides a computerised model of the airway. They will practice the procedural skill of fiber-optic intubation on their assigned simulators. Cumulative sum method (CUSUM) learning curves and procedural Entrusted Professional Activities will be obtained for each resident on their assigned simulator. Following this , all residents will undergo a procedural entrusted professional activity with regard to fiber-optic intubation on a low risk , consented patient. The results of the learning curves, Simulator entrusted professional activity and Patient entrusted professional activity will be compared to assess if there is a difference between the low fidelity and high fidelity simulator groups.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Low Fidelity Simulator - Wooden blockActive Control1 Intervention
This simulator consists of a simple series of wooden panels with holes. The resident learns how to manipulate the fiberoptic bronchoscope through the holes.
Group II: High fidelity Simulator - ORSIMActive Control1 Intervention
The ORSIM® bronchoscopy is a virtual reality simulator (Airway Simulation Limited, Auckland, New Zealand). It consists of hardware and software components that interact to create a high-fidelity virtual reality simulation. A replica fiberoptic scope is advanced by the resident through a desktop sensor, which is connected to a laptop computer. The laptop software program provides a virtual airway in which the user must navigate the probe.
