3D Printing Models to Help Students Practice Breathing Tube Placement
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether using 3D-printed models of airways helps medical students learn to place breathing tubes (endotracheal intubation) more successfully. Researchers will compare traditional training methods with this new 3D printing technology.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a medical student or trainee learning intubation techniques
- You must be in good overall health (ASA grade I or II—meaning no serious medical conditions)
- You must not be obese
- Your throat anatomy must be easy to see during examination (good view of soft palate and uvula)
- You must be willing to participate in intubation training or practice
