Abstract | In recent years, several studies have demonstrated that the experience derived from video games improves interventions that require technical skills. Airway management is crucial to anesthesiologists, requiring technical and non-technical skills. We evaluated the benefits of video games for video stylet-guided tracheal intubation, which allows the use of video technology in airway management of residents with anesthesiology training. In the present study, the residents working in the Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation at the Health Sciences University of Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital in Istanbul were assigned to two groups. Active users who played video games on a regular basis formed study group (n = 14), while those who did not have video gaming habits were assigned to the control group (n = 15). Female patients with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I and II classification undergoing elective open or laparoscopic gynecological surgery through tracheal intubation under general anesthesia were included in the study. Female patients elective open and laparoscopic gynecological surgery under GA were included in the study. Time to intubate the trachea by using video stylet in (Group 1) was found to be 29 s on average, and it was 59.9 s for Group 2 ( p < 0.01) The average number of tracheal intubation attempts was 1.1 in Group 1, and 1.4 in Group 2 (p = 0.19). Video gaming experience improves the visual attention.Those accustomed to playing with video games, video stylet- guided tracheal intubation, performed intubation in less time. |
