Incomplete adherence to the ASA difficult airway algorithm is unchanged after a high-fidelity simulation session

PurposeAlthough guidelines for difficult airway management have been published, the extent to which consultant anesthesiologists follow these guidelines has not been determined. The purpose of this study is to observe how consultant anesthesiologists manage a “cannot intubate, cannot ventilate” (CICV) scenario in a high-fidelity simulator and to evaluate whether a simulation teaching session improves their adherence to the American Society of …
