Abstract
BACKGROUND: Several studies have described the successful application of extraglottic airways by lay people to a phantom. OBJECTIVES: This study examined the influence of the training method on the success of the application. METHODS: A total of 150 visitors of a shopping mall were asked to place an i‑gel laryngeal mask (Intersurgical GmbH, Sankt Augustin, Germany) on a manikin. The short instruction was randomized and performed either as a practical demonstration or through the self-study of an illustrated manual. RESULTS: Application success in the first attempt was 95.8 % for the practical demonstration group and 78.5 % for the written instruction group (p = 0.001). Placement times were also significantly different (median 11.5 s vs. 22.5 s, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Learning success can be achieved with both training methods. Initially, a hands-on training should be carried out with a practical demonstration.
