| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Position 1 | Experimental | Standard position during intubation. Intubator is behind head of the victim, propped up on both elbows |
|
| Position 2 | Experimental | Intubator is behind head of the victim, lies on the left side |
|
| Position 3 | Experimental | Intubator stands astride the victims, intubated using the face-to-face |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |

| Time required for successful intubation | 1 day |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| success rate of intubation attempt | success rate of first, second and third intubation attempt | 1 day |

| Macintosh laryngoscope | Device | Intubation performed using laryngoscope with Macintosh blade |

| 1 day |
| Ease of intubation | To access subjective opinion about the difficulty of each intubation method, participants were asked to rate it on a visual analog scale (VAS) with a score from 1 (extremely easy) to 10 (extremely difficult). | 1 day |
| Cormack&Lehane grade | glottic view during intubation rate using Cormack&Lehane grade | 1 day |
| Dental Compression | the severity of the potential dental trauma was calculated based on previously described modified grading scale (Svoldelli, 2009) | 1 day |
