Results The team was activated 1156 times and attended 763 cases. A total of 69 RSIs occurring within the study period were identified as having been carried out by the EAAA team. There were no failed intubations that required a rescue surgical airway or the placement of a supraglottic airway device. For RTCs, the overall on scene time for patients who required an RSI was 40 minutes (range 15-72 minutes). For all other trauma, the average on scene time was 48 minutes (range 25-77 minutes).
