[Fibreoptic clinical training in anaesthesia. Course design and results based on a self-assessment survey].
Fibreoptic intubation is the technique of choice for resolving complications related to a difficult airway. Our aim was to determine whether a clinical-practice-based, individualized course provides sufficient training and confidence to allow anaesthetists to routinely practice fibreoptic intubation. ⋯ These results suggest a high success rate can be expected from individually tailored fibreoptic intubation courses that supplement theory and mannequin experience with clinical practice.
