Interventional model: Crossover Assignment

Masking: None (Open label)

---

120 participants in 3 patient groups

Scenario A

Experimental group

Description:

The control scenario, where neither chest compression nor cervical stabilization was applied during intubation.

Treatment:

Device: Macintosh Laryngoscope

Device: TruView PCD Video laryngoscope

Scenario B

Experimental group

Description:

The chest compression scenario, where continuous chest compression was applied using chest compression system LUCAS-2 (Physio-Control, Redmond, WA, USA). Chest compression was provided at a rate of 100 min-1 to a depth of 5-6 cm during all intubation procedures.

Treatment:

Device: Macintosh Laryngoscope

Device: TruView PCD Video laryngoscope

Scenario C

Experimental group

Description:

The chest compression with cervical stabilization scenario, where both chest compression using Lucas-2 and cervical stabilization were applied. A correctly fitting standard cervical immobilization collar (StifNeck Select, Laerdal, Stavanger, Norway) was applied to the manikin's neck to prevent movement of the cervical spine.

Device: Macintosh Laryngoscope

Device: TruView PCD Video laryngoscope
