ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Fibreoptic intubation is the technique of choice for resolving complications related to a difficult airway. Our aim was to determine whether a clinical-practice-based, individualized course provides sufficient training and confidence to allow anaesthetists to routinely practice fibreoptic intubation.METHODS:
Our hospital developed a clinical-practice-based, individualized course on fibreoptic intubation in general anaesthesia that provided practice in sedated spontaneously breathing patients and insertion through supraglottic devices. From 2005 to 2009, we e-mailed participants for response to an anonymous online self-assessment survey. We asked participants about the training outcomes and their overall degree of satisfaction.RESULTS:
Seventy-seven participants were sent the questionnaire six months after the course and 61% responded. All respondents considered themselves skilled in handling the bronchoscope at the end of the course and 97% used it in their routine practice in patients with difficult airways.CONCLUSIONS:
These results suggest a high success rate can be expected from individually tailored fibreoptic intubation courses that supplement theory and mannequin experience with clinical practice.
