Covid-19 pandemic reinforced the intrinsic need for training and evaluation of technical skills involving airway manipulation to stabilize the victim according to their needs. Puncture cricothyroidotomy is a rare procedure in the emergency department, although being a required skill when other alternatives fail. In this regard, this study’s objective was to build and validate a simulated setting in the Objective Structured Clinical Examination modality to evaluate the technical skill to perform puncture cricothyroidotomy. This is a methodological study, respecting the stages of translation, construction and validation inherent to the method. The research originated a script for the Objective Structured Clinical Examination station for teaching the puncture cricothyroidotomy skills. It was concluded that the evaluation of technical skills can be done with efficacy and reliability in an Objective Structured Clinical Examination setting, using validated instruments that provide a standardized and replicable evaluation in several places.
