Research subjects were randomly extracted 60(30 people for control group, 30 people for experimental group) people as the paramedics who are working at 13 fire stations in C Province. Data analysis was carried out ${\chi}^2$-test, independent t-test, paired t-test by using SPSS WIN 14.0 Version. As a result of research, to improve speed of the advanced airway management, it is considered to be likely effective in a patient's sniffing position and in the endotracheal intubation in the upper space of the main stretcher.
