The comparison of simulated endotracheal intubation training on mannequin and normal patient in medical students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences -2015

Intubation is the first and most important step in the recovery of basic life support and the best way to learn of intubation training is necessary. Therefore, we decided to study with aim of comparison of simulated training of intubation on mannequins and normal patient in medical students.
In this interventional study, forty medical students after theoretical education was divided into two groups: A (training on mannequins) and B (training on a normal patient). The study was conducted as pre-test and post-test with the DOPS checklist. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and SPSS 16 software.
There was no significant difference between two groups in pre-test stage, but after intervention and in post-test, the mean of group A was significantly higher than the group B.
Discussion and It seems that after theoretical training and before training on patients, practical skills training on mannequins is the best way to learn clinical skills.
