Time to intubation
the time to intubation, defined as the time from insertion of the laryngoscope blade between the teeth to the first manual ventilation of the mannequin's lungs
Time frame: 1 day
Success of intubation
success of the intubation attempt (i.e. tracheal or oesophageal placement of the tube) with was recorded when the success of the ventilation attempt was seen by the manikin's ventilation indicators.
Time frame: 1 day
Cormack-Lehan scale
self reported Cormack-Lehan scale during intubation
Time frame: 1 day
Dental compression
dental compression, with was assessed using a visual scale grading the pressure applied on the upper teeth (n=none, mild=1, moderate=2, severe=3).
Time frame: 1day
Ease of intubation (VAS)
To access subjective opinion about the difficulty of the each intubation method, participants were asked to rate it on a visual analogue scale (VAS) with a score from 1 (extremely easy) to 10 (extremely difficult).
Time frame: 1 day
