This research project compares the effectiveness of two visual instructions for inserting laryngeal masks. Researchers will assess the procedure performed by undergraduate health students on neonatal mannequins. The student's performance will be evaluated by assessing the results, timing and sequence recorded in videos during the simulation. An Ethical Committee reviewed and approved the protocol.
This research project compares the effectiveness of two visual instructions for inserting laryngeal masks. Researchers will assess the procedure performed by undergraduate health students on neonatal mannequins. The students will participate voluntarily after signing an informed consent. The participating students will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups, each receiving a different visual instruction. The student's performance will be evaluated by assessing the results, timing and sequence recorded in videos during the simulation. An Ethical Committee reviewed and approved the protocol. The Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos funded the investigation through the 2024 grant contest for Research Groups.
The project aims to provide evidence of the advantages of visual instructional methods for inserting laryngeal masks, which contribute to advancing knowledge in medical training and neonatal procedures. The results are expected to inform the selection of more effective educational materials, thus improving student preparation and neonatal care. This research has the potential to bridge the gap between academic theory and clinical practice, benefiting both society and scientific development in neonatal medicine.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instructions A | Experimental | The "Instructions A" is a four-step, coloured illustrated brochure with images of newborn mannequins and supplies for laryngeal mask insertion. |
|
| Instructions B | Active Comparator | The "Instructions B" is a six-step, black-and-white illustrated brochure with images of adults and supplies for laryngeal mask airway insertion. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Instructions A | Other | "Instructions A" are printed visual instructions for health students for inserting a laryngeal mask into neonatal mannequins. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of participants achieving effective ventilation. | Effective ventilation with a manual resuscitator involves the inflow of air into the mannequin's lungs through the laryngeal mask and raising the thorax. | Through study completion, an average of six months. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Timing measures in the procedure. | The time, as recorded in a video, captures the entire process, including the required time to review instructions, the moment of laryngeal mask placement, the start of positive pressure ventilation, and the verification of the mannequin's chest expansion with ventilation. | From the start of the review of instructions to the verification of chest expansion or failure to achieve chest expansion with at least three ventilation, whichever came first, assessed up to 10 minutes. |

| Instructions B | Other | "Instructions B" are printed visual instructions for health students for inserting a laryngeal mask into neonatal mannequins. |
|
| Number of participants achieving a correct sequence. | The correct sequence, involves the initial use of a syringe to extract air, the placement of the laryngeal mask, and the final use of the syringe to inject air, before ventilation with a manual resuscitator. | Through study completion, an average of six months. |
