ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to compare the speed, confidence, and ease of endotracheal intubation in a difficult posture by using the SALT(Supraglottic Airway Laryngopharyngeal Tube), and a direct laryngoscope to improve the ability to implement professional airway management. The subject of the study was an experimental study by a randomized crossover design, targeting 30 first-class emergency medical technicians working in J-do fire station, and the SPSS 20.0 version was used for data analysis. The endotracheal intubation by using SALT showed a significant difference in speed compared to endotracheal intubation by using a direct laryngoscope(p<.001), and also showed a significant difference in confidence and ease(p<.001). If it is difficult to endotracheal intubation by direct laryngoscope, or in the case of trauma patients, if SALT is used, safe and rapid intubation will be possible. In addition, to improve the efficiency of professional airway management, it is believed that the introduction of SALT in domestic sites is necessary.
