![]() There are three general classifications of models used for teaching PIAM: live animals, human cadavers, and simulators. Īdequate training models for PIAM are in dire need, particularly in global and rural contexts, due to the high prevalence of scenarios that require airway management without specialized personnel such as anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, and respiratory therapists. Inability to secure the pediatric airway in a time-sensitive fashion causes suboptimal success rates in this life-saving, emergent procedure. This challenge is further exacerbated in practitioners who are not regularly exposed to manipulation of the pediatric airway-much less in the crisis situations in which intubation is often required-leading to marked deficits in psychomotor skill retention. Pediatric patients present with greater difficulty in airway management due to anatomical differences and varying pathological processes compared with their adult counterparts, for whom practitioners are trained. However, research shows that much of this expertise fades with lack of practice, especially in regard to high-acuity low-occurrence (HALO) skills such as pediatric intubation and airway management (PIAM). Medical education is often described as drinking from a firehose, and rightly so: trainees acquire an onslaught of knowledge and skills in a very short period of time, with the expectation that they will be able to proficiently exercise these skills upon demand. This work aims to report the development process and initial validation evidence of a prototype cost-effective pediatric intubation task trainer that can be used for post-graduate education, especially in resource-challenged settings. Task trainers pose an ethically and fiscally sustainable training model for experiential learning through repetitive practice, which has been shown to dramatically improve trainee proficiency and confidence in performing high-acuity low-occurrence procedures such as pediatric intubation. However, current training models for PIAM, such as live animals, human cadavers, and simulators, are not adequately accessible or reliable due to their combination of high cost, unrealistic simulation, lack of standardization, and ethical concerns. Securing the pediatric airway in a time-sensitive fashion is a specialized skill that declines with lack of practice, leading to a precarious gap in clinical competency and healthcare delivery.
