Cluster cross-over randomised trial of paediatric airway management devices in the simulation lab and operating room among paramedic students.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare paediatric emergency airway management strategies in the simulation lab and operating room environments.

Methods: This was a two-part cluster cross-over randomised trial including simulation lab and operating room environments conducted between January 2017 and June 2018 in Portland, Oregon, USA. In simulated infant cardiac arrests, paramedic students placed an endotracheal tube, an i-gel or a laryngeal mask airway in random order.
