ABSTRACT

Introduction: The development of airway skills is important for the training of an anesthesiologist. At the ABC Medical Center, residents of anesthesiology present a logbook with the number of skills performed during their training. Objective: To determine the number of airway skills performed during the first year of residency for four generations of anesthesiology residents at the ABC Medical Center. Material y methods: First-year residents during the 2016-2019 period were included. The airway skills studied were direct laryngoscopy, video laryngoscopy, fibroscopy and the placement of a laryngeal mask of any generation and brand. The data was obtained from the monthly procedure reports delivered to the Department of Anesthesiology of the ABC Medical Center. Results: Twenty-one residents were included in the study. In their first year of residence there were a total of 11,140 surgeries. In 8,464 some airway skill was performed. Orotracheal intubation by direct laryngoscopy was the most frequent, with an average of 262.66 ± 58.84 per year, 33.85 ± 8.32 by videolaryngoscopy and 3.23 ± 2.68 were performed with fibroscopy. Finally, they placed laryngeal masks with an average of 107.10 ± 18.05 per year. Conclusions: During their first year of training, anesthesiology residents from ABC Medical Center performed on average 408 airway skills.
