Smart Airway Adult

TRAINING MODES AVAILABLE ON THE SMART AIRWAY APP IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SMART AIRWAY ADULT:

• Practice mode: This mode allows the user to familiarise themselves with the model or app and get real-time feedback on techniques such as incisor force, cricoid pressure, head position, jaw thrust, and BVM. Additionally, this allows the user to get visualisations of the lung volumes via bar graphs and pressure curves. This will give them feedback on ventilation rate and volume. The app can discern accurate adherence from inconsistencies in established best practices, creating transparent pathways for targeted refinement. Audio and text feedback once again aids in providing the feedback required to improve their techniques.
• Self-directed training: Contains guided video tutorials on what each skill is, contradictions, background information, and audio and text feedback on the student’s performance. This allows students to build and improve their knowledge of procedures, put the knowledge learned in practice mode to the test with an objective self-directed training session. The student can customise what skill they would like to focus on. Quantitative feedback is then provided on how well the student performed with graded marks presented.
• Instructor-led assessment: The instructor can modify scenarios and assessment criteria based on the user’s level of experience. Additionally, pre-theory knowledge questions for each topic or procedure are provided and marked accordingly. Debrief video and quantitative feedback is provided post assessment, and the instructor can provide additional feedback on how they can improve their technique. A certificate of completion and summary of results will be provided at the end of the assessment.

Convenience:

• The Smart Airway app offers flexible access to educational content for self-directed learning

Interactivity:

• Internactive tests and feedback in the the Smart Airway App improve user engagement and accountability in airway management

Customisation:

• Users can review specific resources, test their knowledge, and instructors can tailor assessments and feedback

Accessibility:

• Repeatable sessions ensure competency measurement in an objective manner

Up-to-date information:

• App content is regularly updated with the latest medical guidelines, research, and best practices.

Test preparation & skill development:

• The app helps students practice test-taking and develop specialised skills interactively

Feedback:

• Quantitative feedback data helps students improve technique and track progress over time, making it easier for instructors to manage students and note their training efforts.
• Video-based feedback utilising the built-in camera on iPads/Tablets provides interactive post-scenario learning without extra equipment, with time stamps for each element captured.
• Receiving quantitative feedback on the student’s performance removes the potential for bias or inconsistencies by having set criteria to meet.

Support:

• Procedure-specific prep materials aid in preliminary competence building, allowing instructors to focus on individualised feedback during training for skill enhancement efficiently.

Set up:

• The unit can be set up in less than 10 minutes by powering it on and logging into the training app.

Portable:

• Delivered in a durable carry case for easy transportation and safe storage
