Paediatric anaesthesia is a very specialised domain lacking training during the traditional curriculum. The laryngospasm is a stressful and life-threatening event that requires immediate action. The main objective of this study was to assess the effect of knowledge of a simple algorithm on the management of laryngospasm by trainee anaesthetists and nurse anaesthetists during a high-fidelity simulation session.
