Impact of CT-based 3D Models and 3D Printing Technology on Success Rate in Endotracheal Intubation in Undergraduate Medical Students A Prospective Single-Center Study

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to develop and evaluate a teaching curriculum for tracheal intubation using CT-based three-dimensional imaging and 3D printing technologies. The goal is to help students learn anatomical knowledge, operational skills, and special handling techniques for both normal and difficult airways. The study compares this new curriculum with traditional teaching methods to assess their relative effectiveness. Participants are divided into two groups. Group A receives training with the newly developed 3D curriculum, while Group B is trained using traditional teaching, which involves instructors explaining the material via PowerPoint, highlighting key points, answering questions, and summarizing the content. Both groups cover the same teaching content. After training, students perform tracheal intubation on patients. During the study, researchers will evaluate the success rate of endotracheal intubation over approximately one year. Additional outcomes include complications related to intubation and student satisfaction and confidence scores. The study monitors the participants' performance, satisfaction, and training outcomes to compare the two teaching methods effectively.
