The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effects of training an Emergency Reflex Action Drill (ERAD) for Emergency Surgical Airway (ESA) in Dutch paramedics. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Does training an ERAD improves self-confidence in performing an ESA in Dutch paramedics Participants will fill out a questionnaire directly before and after the training. To investigate long-term effects, they will be asked to fill out a questionnaire after 2 till 3 months and after one year.

RECRUITINGSelf-confidence
Increase/decrease/no difference in self-confidence from baseline, assessed by a five-point Likert-scale of paramedics in performing an Emergency Surgical Airway
Time frame: Baseline, pre-training up to immediately after the training
Training model
Difference in effect on self-confidence between two training models used during the ESA-ERAD training, assessed by a five-point Likert-scale.
Time frame: Immediately after the training
Self-confidence real life cases
Increase/decrease/no difference in self-confidence assessed by a five-point Likert-scale and correctly placed emergency surgical airway in real-life cases reported by paramedics at any time point after the ESA-ERAD training, up to an average of 1 year
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
