An observational study of intubation success rates and rescue airway techniques among 7256 pre-hospital physician intubations of trauma patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Effective airway management is a priority in early trauma management. Data on physician pre-hospital intubation is limited, despite its worldwide practice [1]. This study was conducted to establish intubation success rates in a physician-led system and examine the frequency and management of failed intubation in pre-hospital trauma patients. Failed intubation rates of anaesthetists and nonanaesthetists were also reviewed.
