Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to improve airway management ability by comparing the speed, angle of the neck, and confidence and ease of supraglottic airway laryngopharyngeal tube (SALT) and endotracheal intubation via direct laryngoscopy. Methods: The subjects of this experimental research study with a randomized crossover design were 44 emergency medicine technician - paramedics working in the fire department of 'J' - do. SPSS version 19.0 was used in the statistical analysis. Results: Speed and angle of the neck (p<.001), as well as confidence and ease (p<.001), showed significant differences between endotracheal intubation with a SALT and endotracheal intubation via direct laryngoscopy. Conclusion: If endotracheal intubation via direct laryngoscopy is difficult to use or in trauma patients, using a SALT is safe and enables fast intubation. Moreover, in order to improve the efficiency of advanced airway management, the application of SALT should be introduced in the domestic scene.
