Validation and Reliability of an Assessment Tool for Tracheal Intubation Skills Among Anesthesiology Residents: A Pilot Study

Validation of the reliability of the skills assessment chart revealed that it measured the competency of tracheal intubation of junior residents. For the items that had poor correlations, instruction by senior physicians and peri-anesthesia nurses, in collaboration, was strengthened to attain the standard. The plan was to create an educational environment in which residents, as members of the healthcare team, contribute to patient quality of life and medical safety.
