Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Fiberoptic-assisted intubations are usually performed in emergency situations and during difficult airway patient encounters. These situations are not ideal for learners to properly practice the skill.
The process of acquiring FOI skills includes teaching by experienced instructors, self-practice using commercially-available airway simulators, and practicing on virtual reality software.
The airway simulators and virtual reality software have their advantages and disadvantages.
In this randomized study, the investigators will compare the fiberoptic intubation skill among anesthesiology residents after self-training on a custom-made 3D simulator and self-training on a virtual reality software.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
3D printed simulator
The participants in this arm will undergo two self-directed training sessions on a custom-made 3D-printed airway simulator. The participants will use a standard intubating fiberoptic bronchoscope to practice fiberoptic-assisted nasal intubation.
The sessions will be one week apart. Each session is 30 minutes per participant.
3D-printed airway simulator
Two self-directed training on a standard fiberoptic bronchoscope and a custom-made 3D airway simulator.
Virtual reality software
The participants in this arm will practice fiberoptic-assisted nasal intubation using the free virtual reality software (AirwayEX) on their mobile phones or computer tablets. Two practice sessions are required by the investigators. The sessions will be one week apart. Each session is 30 minutes per participant.
The participants in this arm will have the opportunity to practice on the software as often as they feel necessary. All the additional practice data will be recorded.
