Mental Practice for Emergency Airway Surgery Training
This study tests whether mental rehearsal—mentally practicing a procedure in your mind—helps medical staff learn emergency cricothyroidotomy (a lifesaving airway technique) better. Researchers at the Medical University of Warsaw want to see if this mental training improves how quickly and accurately doctors and nurses perform this critical skill.

This study tests a new device that helps doctors place a breathing tube during training. It compares the new tool with the standard method to see if it works better.
This trial compares two methods of applying pressure to the neck during anesthesia (paratracheal vs. cricoid pressure) to see which one allows a clearer view of the vocal cords for placing the breathing tube. It may help doctors choose a technique that makes intubation faster and safer.
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.
This trial tests whether emergency front of neck access (eFONA) training boosts confidence for anesthesia resident doctors. It helps prepare you for a rare but critical airway emergency.
This trial tests if practicing mental imagery helps anesthesia residents improve their non-technical skills, like communication and teamwork, during procedures. If you are an anesthesia resident in your first through fourth year of training, you may be able to join.
This pilot study tests a new camera-assisted tool to help paramedics insert breathing tubes in emergencies. Researchers want to see if this device makes the procedure safer and more successful when done outside the hospital.
