Ann Emerg Med.<\/a><\/span> 2019 Jun 24. doi: 10.1016\/j.annemergmed.2019.04.025. [Epub ahead of print]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n West J Emerg Med. 2019 Jul;20(4):601-609. doi: 10.5811\/westjem.2019.6.42946. Epub 2019 Jul 2. 1 Abstract Airway management is a fundamental skill of emergency medicine (EM) practice, and suboptimal management leads to poor outcomes. Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a procedure that is specifically taught in residency, but little is known how best to maintain proficiency in this skill throughout the practitioner’s career. The goal of this study was to identify how the frequency of intubation correlated with measured performance. We assessed 44 emergency physicians for proficiency at ETI by direct laryngoscopy on a simulator. The electronic health record was then queried to obtain their average number of annual ETIs and the time since their last ETI, supervised and individually performed, over a two-year period. We evaluated the strength of correlation between these factors and assessment scores, and then conducted a receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to identify factors that predicted proficient performance. The mean score was 81% (95% confidence interval, 76% – 86%). Scores correlated well with the mean number of ETIs performed annually and with the mean number supervised annually (r = 0.6, p = 0.001 for both). ROC curve analysis identified that physicians would obtain a proficient score if they had performed an average of at least three ETIs annually (sensitivity = 90%, specificity = 64%, AUC = 0.87, p = 0.001) or supervised an average of at least five ETIs annually (sensitivity = 90%, specificity = 59%, AUC = 0.81, p = 0.006) over the previous two years. Performing at least three or supervising at least five ETIs annually, averaged over a two-year period, predicted proficient performance on a simulation-based skills assessment. We advocate for proactive maintenance and enhancement of skills, particularly for those who infrequently perform this procedure.<\/p>\n Systematic review and meta-analysis of first-pass success rates in emergency department intubation: Creating a benchmark for emergency airway careAuthorsFirst published: 27 October 2016Full publication historyDOI: 10.1111\/1742-6723.12704View\/save citationCited by: 0 articles<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Bill Hinckley elaborated our goal for airway management<\/p>\n Definitive Aiway sine Hypoxemia on the 1st Attempt<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Validation study of the algorithm<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Even preox with 100% did not seem to affect FRC (J Anesth\u00a0DOI 10.1007\/s00540-012-1547-7)<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Complexities of Tracheal Intubation (Ann Emerg Med 2011;57(3):240)<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n From Heard in Australia<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Hasegawa et al. showed at 3 attempts, things got bad (Ann Emerg Med 2012;60:749)<\/p>\n Sackles JC et al. showed that >1 attempt radically increased complications (ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE 2013; 20:71\u201378)<\/p>\n Mort demonstrated this in the ICU, after two attempts risk of crit desat (70%) is huge and assoc. with cardiopulm arrest (Anesth Analg 2004;99:607)<\/p>\n Mort has further elaboration re: the dangers of intubation in the critically ill (J Inten Care Med 2007;22(4):208)<\/p>\n Heffner et al. showed a 4% cardiac arrest rate in ED intubations (Incidence and factors associated with cardiac arrest complicating\u00a0emergency airway management.

But even experienced physicians will benefit from inserting tubes to 20-21 cm in women and 22-23 cm in men, especially when high ambient noise precludes accurate auscultation (such as in emergency situations or helicopter transport). The highest sensitivity and specificity for ruling out endobronchial intubation, however, is achieved by combining tube depth, auscultation of the lungs, and observation of symmetrical chest movements.
