Impact of CT-based 3D printed models on endotracheal intubation success in students

Official title: Impact of Via CT-based 3D Models and 3D Printing Technology on Success Rate in Endotracheal Intubation in Undergraduate Medical Students-A Prospective Single-Center Study

Run by Shanxi Bethune Hospital · NCT07612995 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether training with CT-based 3D printed airway models helps students perform endotracheal intubation better than traditional teaching.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are medical or anesthesia students (ASA I-II, non-obese) with good airway visualization for training in controlled settings.

Probably not a fit

Patients not benefiting may include those with difficult airways, higher BMI, or other anesthesia risk factors not represented in the trainee population.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The trial compares two teaching approaches for endotracheal intubation: a 3D-printed CT-based curriculum and conventional PowerPoint-led instruction. Participants are ASA I-II, non-obese students with good airway visibility, randomized to receive either the 3D model training or traditional methods. Outcomes focus on learning effectiveness and practical skill performance after the sessions. The study uses identical teaching content across groups, with assessment of the teaching effectiveness after training.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, students may gain quicker mastery and higher first-attempt intubation success using realistic 3D airway models.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work suggests 3D-printed airway models can enhance procedural training, though results vary by context and skill level.
