Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)
Participants' procedural performance will be assessed using a standardized Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). The total score will be expressed as the percentage of correctly performed procedural steps. Scores range from 0% to 100%, with higher scores indicating better procedural performance.
Time frame
6 months after enrollmentSecondary outcomes
1
Procedure completion time
Time required to complete the cricothyrotomy procedure during the practical examination. Time will be recorded in seconds from initiation to completion of the procedure.
Time frame
6 months after entrollment2
Self-assessed procedural competencies and perceived stress during cricothyroidotomy (individual questionnaire items).
Participants will complete an author-developed questionnaire following completion of the training program. The questionnaire consists of individual items assessing perceived procedural competence and stress related to performing cricothyrotomy. Selected items are rated on a 10-point Likert-type scale (1-10). For competence-related items, higher scores indicate better perceived competence (10 = highest competence). For stress-related items, higher scores indicate greater perceived stress (10 = highest stress level). Each item will be analyzed and reported individually. No composite score will be calculated.
