About

This research project compares the effectiveness of two visual instructions for inserting laryngeal masks. Researchers will assess the procedure performed by undergraduate health students on neonatal mannequins. The student's performance will be evaluated by assessing the results, timing and sequence recorded in videos during the simulation. An Ethical Committee reviewed and approved the protocol.

Full description

This research project compares the effectiveness of two visual instructions for inserting laryngeal masks. Researchers will assess the procedure performed by undergraduate health students on neonatal mannequins. The students will participate voluntarily after signing an informed consent. The participating students will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups, each receiving a different visual instruction. The student's performance will be evaluated by assessing the results, timing and sequence recorded in videos during the simulation. An Ethical Committee reviewed and approved the protocol. The Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos funded the investigation through the 2024 grant contest for Research Groups.

The project aims to provide evidence of the advantages of visual instructional methods for inserting laryngeal masks, which contribute to advancing knowledge in medical training and neonatal procedures. The results are expected to inform the selection of more effective educational materials, thus improving student preparation and neonatal care. This research has the potential to bridge the gap between academic theory and clinical practice, benefiting both society and scientific development in neonatal medicine.
