Airway management training using the laryngeal mask airway : a comparison of two different training programmes . Nurses without prior experience in the use of the laryngeal mask airway ( LMA ) were randomly allocated to one of two groups to be trained in the emergency technique of insertion of an LMA . Group A ( 32 nurses ) were trained only on a manikin and group B ( 20 nurses ) were trained on a manikin and with live anaesthetised patient practice in theatre ( five successful insertions ) . Without further practice , both groups were asked to insert an LMA in a live patient in theatre 3 months after initial training . Three attempts per nurse were allowed . In group A , 75 % passed the LMA successfully at the first attempt , 22 % at the second attempt and 3 % ( one nurse ) at the third attempt . In group B , 80 % were successful at first attempt and 20 % at the second attempt . Skill performance and retention were shown to be high following either training method , with no significant difference between the performance of either group ( chi 2 ) . We have shown that manikin-only training in the emergency technique for LMA insertion is as effective as live patient training . It is proposed that manikin training alone may be adopted as a future training modality if , as is expected , the use of the LMA in resuscitation becomes more commonplace .
