Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effects of training an Emergency Reflex Action Drill (ERAD) for Emergency Surgical Airway (ESA) in Dutch paramedics. The main question it aims to answer is:

\- Does training an ERAD improves self-confidence in performing an ESA in Dutch paramedics Participants will fill out a questionnaire directly before and after the training. To investigate long-term effects, they will be asked to fill out a questionnaire after 2 till 3 months and after one year.
