Article Synopsis
- The study aims to measure the forces exerted during laryngoscopy across different expertise levels (students, residents, staff) and varying airway difficulties using force gauges attached to a mannequin.
- Results show that as airway difficulty increased, all groups applied more force on the teeth and tongue base, with students exerting the most force overall.
- The findings indicate that the measurement of these forces could serve as valuable indicators for assessing training and competency in laryngoscopy techniques.
Objective: Stapedectomy remains a key indicator case reportable to the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education despite the decline in the incidence of otosclerosis over the last half century. This study compared the rates of stapedectomy performed by otolaryngologists at academic and nonacademic centers.
Study Design: Retrospective review.

However, evidence suggests that an increasing proportion of residents in other specialties are deviating from this paradigm. This work aims to characterize otolaryngology residents' current asynchronous learning practices (i.
