Abstract

Introduction:The effect on hand-eye coordination and visuospatial skills made videogames popular for training in laparoscopic surgery. Although similar effects may be true for fiberoptic intubation (FOI), it hasn't been studied before. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of playing videogames with gamepad on FOI skills.
