Popis:	Passive regurgitation of abdominal contents during endotracheal intubation is a significant concern in the operating room. Pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents can trigger a sequence of events that may result in injury to the patient. An effective means of reducing this risk is cricoid pressure.(1) Often, the circulating nurse is responsible for the perioperative application of the technique. Unfortunately, studies reveal a generalized knowledge deficit regarding correct application among operating room personnel.(2) This study investigated the ability of nurses to learn and retain the skill over time. Determining effective strategies to improve performance helps optimize the induction phase of anesthesia and improves patient outcomes.
