(N) number of respondents trained or not trained or with or without clinical experience in urgent or emergency FONA in one year
Self‐efficacy scores (0 no confidence–10 maximal confidence) are given as mean (SD)
95% CI gives the 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean self‐efficacy scores (“yes” minus “no”)
PDT = Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy
