3D Printing Models to Help Students Practice Breathing Tube Placement
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

This study is testing a new medical tool that helps doctors place a breathing tube during emergencies. It is being tried out in a simulated (practice) setting with emergency medicine residents to see if it works well.
This study tests whether a 3D-printed face model helps teach medical students how to use noninvasive ventilation (a breathing mask). It may make training more realistic and effective.
This study compares two training methods for doctors learning to place a breathing tube using a flexible bronchoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera). It aims to see if a low-cost model works as well as a more expensive part-task trainer for teaching this skill.
This trial tests a new 3D-printed video laryngoscope (a device that helps doctors see your airway during intubation) in emergency and ICU settings. It aims to see if it works as well as or better than current tools for placing a breathing tube.
This trial tests whether using a 3D model of your airway helps doctors place a breathing tube more precisely during video-assisted lung surgery. It may improve safety and accuracy.
This study tests if a special training method (PDCA cycle) helps emergency medicine residents learn how to place a breathing tube (intubation) more effectively. It might help improve your skills and confidence in a critical emergency procedure.
