Simulation training of endotracheal intubation (ETI) has proven to be an effective training tool. We used an adjustable airway mannequin that allows the achievement of various difficulty levels of laryngoscopy to train inexperienced medical students. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of training using this novel airway mannequin on ETI success rates of medical students.
