Assessment of basic airway management among paramedic students at the University of Benin teaching hospital: A cross-sectional study

Paramedic students at UBTH demonstrated good knowledge and confidence in BAM. Self-reported practice of BAM on both simulation and real patients was associated with knowledge, while real patient experience was strongly associated with confidence. To improve paramedic training, curricula should prioritise integrated learning approaches that provide both simulation facilities for skill development and adequate supervised clinical exposure.
