摘要
ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and user experience (UX) of a pre-formed rigid stylet commonly used in endotracheal intubations to a novel, articulating (user-controlled) stylet.MethodsThe participants were a mixture of undergraduates, medical students, residents, and attendings who attempted to intubate cadavers using both traditional and novel stylets via video laryngoscopy, after which they were surveyed using the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) form.ResultsWe found the novel stylet to have improved UX, scoring lower in physical demand, effort, temporal demand, and frustration compared to the traditional stylet on the NASA-TLX. The traditional stylet scored lower on mental effort. There was no difference in how participants viewed their performance.ConclusionThere was no difference in how participants viewed their performance. This preclinical study for this novel stylet showed promising results in terms of ease of use.Level of Evidence3.
