THE EFFECTS OF DIRECT AND INDIRECT LARYNGOSCOPY ON CORMACK-LEHANE AND POGO SCORES

THE EFFECTS OF DIRECT AND INDIRECT LARYNGOSCOPY ON CORMACK-LEHANE AND POGO SCORES IN THE LARYNGOSCOPY TRAINING OF MEDICAL STUDENTS: A SIMULATION STUDY

Direct laryngoscopy (DL) is a conventional and highly difficult method that is used in endotracheal intubation (ETI) training. Today, the usage of video-laryngoscopes (VLs) to teach airway management to inexperienced healthcare personnel is a prevalent practice. In ETI training, it is recommended to train students on simulators before allowing them direct access to patients.
