  1. Data are expressed as Mean ± SD. DLT = Double Lumen Tube; a Pass = Number of subjects in the group who passed; Total = Number of subjects in group, % = percentage of subjects who passed in that group. bGRS = Global Rating Scale. Scored as “Very poor” to “Excellent” (Maximum Score is 5). The average of the two evaluators is the final sum checklist score. c P <0.001 Experts/Experienced vs. Novices Pre-Training (Simulation and Video). d P <0.001 Novice Pre-Training vs. Novices Post-Training (Simulation and Video). e P = 0.039 Expert vs. Post-Training Simulation Group
