Mediziner in Ausbildung scheinen Probleme mit der endotrachealen Intubation zu haben. Dies geht aus dem Journal “Resuscitation” hervor, gelesen bei Kevin MD. Die Gründe liegen angeblich an der Serie ER. Die meisten Students und Residents hatten Probleme mit der richtigen Kopfposition, ein typischer Fehler, der in der Serie immer wieder gezeigt wird.

Dr. Brindley said he and his colleague, Dr. Craig Needham, noticed that many students and residents - medical-school graduates training in specialities such as anesthesia, surgery and emergency care - positioned the head incorrectly.

Such a slip-up can make bad outcomes more likely when time is of the essence and “it’s a matter of life and death,” he said.

To find out where the faulty knowledge was coming from, the physicians surveyed 80 students and residents. Many said they learned through “trial and error,” but a large proportion indicated they had picked up tips from white-coated TV characters.

ER was the program most commonly cited by the students, so Drs. Brindley and Needham analyzed a season of the show. Some aspect of the head positioning was wrong in all 22 intubations that could be fully viewed on screen, their paper says.
