Simulation can be an effective teaching strategy for developing psychomotor skills, especially for trainee doctors and nurses. In this article we give a detailed account on designing and assembling a model that can be used in training of securing an airway (this was initially used for training during the covid pandemic) and its various uses.
To impart the training of securing an emergency airway by a tracheostomy to the ENT trainees and surgeons, anaesthesiologist, intensivists and related health care workers, an inexpensive teaching and training model for tracheostomy was designed. Material easily available in all hospitals was used to fabricate this inexpensive (< 1$) training model.
The sessions using this simple model during the Covid pandemic was very effective in imparting the knowledge and the training the health personnel in the steps to be followed during the tracheostomy procedure to reduce aerosol generation.
Simulation can be an effective teaching strategy for developing psychomotor skills, especially for trainee doctors and nurses. This low cost, easily available and reusable training model for airway procedures may be considered as a tool to learn and train on how to secure an emergency airway.

模拟可以是培养操作技能的一种有效教学策略，尤其适用于实习医生和护士。在本文中，我们详细介绍了一种可用于气道固定训练（该模型最初在新冠疫情期间用于培训）的模型的设计与组装及其各种用途。
为了向耳鼻喉科实习生和外科医生、麻醉师、重症监护医生及相关医护人员传授通过气管切开术进行紧急气道固定的培训，设计了一种用于气管切开术的廉价教学和培训模型。使用所有医院都容易获得的材料制作了这个成本低于1美元的培训模型。
在新冠疫情期间使用这个简单模型进行的培训课程，在传授知识以及培训卫生人员掌握气管切开术过程中减少气溶胶产生应遵循的步骤方面非常有效。
模拟可以是培养操作技能的一种有效教学策略，尤其适用于实习医生和护士。这种用于气道操作的低成本、易于获得且可重复使用的培训模型可被视为学习和培训如何进行紧急气道固定的一种工具。
