Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Medical Education
  • Bioethics

Context:

  • Effective airway management training is crucial for junior doctors and medical students.
  • Current training methods include mannequins, anesthetized patients, and deceased patients.
  • Medical associations in Norway and Britain have banned training on deceased patients due to ethical concerns.

Purpose:

  • To assess public attitudes towards using deceased patients for airway management training.
  • To compare willingness to be practiced on while anesthetized versus allowing a deceased relative to be used for training.

Summary:

  • A survey of 1,050 individuals revealed that 69% would permit training on themselves if anesthetized.
  • 58% would accept the use of a recently deceased relative for training.

  • Fears of injury and emotional distress were primary reasons for non-consent.

    • Impact:

    • Findings challenge existing assumptions about public acceptance of training methods.
    • Results suggest a potential need to reconsider medical associations' policies on using deceased patients for training.
    • Improved training in vital airway skills could be facilitated by addressing public attitudes.
