Teaching without a teacher: developing competence with a Bullard laryngoscope using only a structured self-learning course and practicing on a mannequin.
Journal of Clinical Anesthesia 2007 December
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To show that a complex motor skill can be taught without requiring active expert faculty participation.
DESIGN: Prospective descriptive study.
SETTING: Simulation laboratory of an academic anesthesiology department.
SUBJECTS: Novice users of the Bullard laryngoscope, predominantly residents.
INTERVENTIONS: Novice Bullard users were presented with a PowerPoint presentation using text and pictures describing the use of the Bullard. The learners were also provided with a Bullard laryngoscope and a mannequin on which to practice. Self-learning time was not restricted.
MEASUREMENTS: Learners decided for themselves when they were competent and ready for competency assessment. The assessment tool was a checklist of essential steps developed by faculty experienced in Bullard laryngoscopy. The primary end-point was successful intubation.
MAIN RESULTS: All learners were deemed competent. The mean self-learning time was 14.1 minutes (SD, 3.1 min; range, 9.2-21.0 min). All subjects indicated a high level of satisfaction with the learning technique.
CONCLUSIONS: Teaching a complex motor skill with no expert instruction is possible.
