In our hospital, the average duration of training in intubation by the emergency medical technician training intubation was 17.9 days. Compared to other reports, our training period is shorter. Short training period has reduced burden of hospital and fire station. One of the important contributions to the society for anesthesiologists is to increase the number of emergency medical technicians who can intubate. But long training period has been increasing the burden of anesthesiologists and emergency medical technicians. We report a practical method of intubation by emergency medical technician in our hospital.
