Blind Intubation Through the Tulip Airway Versus Direct Laryngoscopy

This is a randomized crossover mannequin study comparing two airway management techniques in novice operators: blind endotracheal intubation via the Tulip oropharyngeal airway versus direct laryngoscopy. The study aims to evaluate and compare the success rate and performance characteristics of both methods under simulated conditions in order to assess their effectiveness in airway management training and practice.

Inclusion Criteria: * Voluntary participation in the study * Anesthesia technician students with no prior airway management experience * Age ≥ 18 years * Willingness to participate in simulation-based intubation procedures Exclusion Criteria: * Prior advanced airway management experience (e.g., regular intubation practice in clinical settings) * Refusal to participate or withdraw consent * Inability to complete simulation procedures for any reason
