TLDR
A higher incidence of difficult and failed laryngoscopy, DAM, and high laryngeal grade views when patients were managed in a prehospital setting by anaesthesia trained physicians is demonstrated.About:

Stephen Bernard,Vina Nguyen,Peter Cameron,Kevin Masci,Mark Fitzgerald,David A. Cooper,Tony Walker,B Paramed Std,Paul S. Myles,Lynne Murray,David,Taylor,Karen Smith,Ian Patrick,John Edington,Andrew Bacon,Jeffrey V. Rosenfeld,Rodney Judson +17 more
TL;DR: In adults with severe TBI, prehospital rapid sequence intubation by paramedics increases the rate of favorable neurologic outcome at 6 months compared with intubations in the hospital.
Journal ArticleDOI
The out-of-hospital esophageal and endobronchial intubations performed by emergency physicians.
Arnd Timmermann,Sebastian G. Russo,Christoph Eich,Markus Roessler,Ulrich Braun,William H. Rosenblatt,Micheal Quintel +6 more
TL;DR: The incidence of unrecognized esophageal intubation is frequent and is associated with a high mortality rate, and out-of-hospital care providers should receive continuing training in airway management, and should be provided additional confirmatory adjuncts to aid in the determination of tracheal tube placement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prehospital intubations and mortality: a level 1 trauma center perspective.
TL;DR: No difference in mortality was found between patients who were properly intubated and those who were not, supporting the use of bag-valve-mask as an adequate method of airway management for critically ill trauma patients in whom intubation cannot be achieved promptly in the prehospital setting.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis of prehospital airway control techniques part II: alternative airway devices and cricothyrotomy success rates.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a systematic literature search for all Englishlanguage articles reporting success rates for AAD, SCRIC, and NCRIC placement through a meta-analysis of the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developing the skill of endotracheal intubation: implication for emergency medicine.
TL;DR: The time needed by first‐year anaesthesiology residents to perform 200 ETIs was evaluated and the associated success rates and number of attempts until successful ETI were assessed.

Difficult tracheal intubation in obstetrics
R. S. Cormack,J. Lehane +1 more
TL;DR: Frequency analysis suggests that, in obstetrics, the main cause of trouble is grade 3, in which the epiglottis can be seen, but not the cords, which is fairly rare, and can be helpful as part of the training before starting in the maternity department.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of the difficult adult airway. With special emphasis on awake tracheal intubation.
TL;DR: There is much more to learn with regard to recognition of the difficult airway, preparation of the patient for an awake intubation, new techniques of endotracheal intubsation, and establishment of gas exchange in patients who cannot be intubated or ventilated by mask.

Preoperative Airway Assessment: Predictive Value of a Multivariate Risk Index
Abdel Raouf El-Ganzouri,Robert J. McCarthy,Kenneth J. Tuman,Erik N. Tanck,Anthony D. Ivankovich +4 more
TL;DR: Improved risk stratification for difficulty with visualization during rigid laryngoscopy (Grade IV) can be obtained by use of a simplified preoperative multivariate airway risk index, with better accuracy compared to oropharyngeal (Mallampati) classification at both low- and high-risk levels.

Misplaced endotracheal tubes by paramedics in an urban emergency medical services system
Steven H. Katz,Jay L. Falk +1 more
TL;DR: The incidence of out-of-hospital, unrecognized, misplaced endotracheal tubes in this community is excessively high and may be reflective of the incidence occurring in other communities.

The airway: problems and predictions in 18,500 patients
TL;DR: It is concluded that difficult tracheal intubations occurred infrequently but were associated with increased morbidity and dental damage on induction of anaesthesia.
