ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the best shape of a tube used for endotracheal intubation, which is a procedure that helps people breathe when they cannot do so on their own. The goal is to find out which tube shape makes it easier for medical students to successfully perform this important procedure during their training.

If you are a final-year medical student at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine in Singapore and are participating in a simulation training, you may be eligible to join this study. Participants will practice intubation techniques using different tube shapes and provide feedback on their experiences. This trial is open to all genders and aims to improve the training process for future doctors, ultimately enhancing patient care.
