A Model to Predict Pre-Hospital Endotracheal Intubation Success
<p>Background: Pre-hospital endotracheal intubation (ETI) is one of the most critical skills performed by paramedics and is considered the “gold standard” of airway management. Pre-hospital ETI success rates are variable, ranging from 33% to 100% across EMS systems in the U.S. Previous …

Hemodynamic Changes after Endotracheal Intubation with Colloid Loading in Patients with Cerebral Aneurysm
"마취유도 시 후두경 조작과 기도삽관은 환자에게 고혈압과 빈맥을 유발할 수 있다(Morgan, 2006). 뇌동맥류 환자에서 고혈압과 빈맥은 뇌동맥류의 파열을 야기할 수 있고 이는 환자의 치사율을 증가 시키므로(Mendleson, 1946) 뇌동맥류 파열 방지를 위하여 혈역학적 변화를 최소화하는 것은 중요하다. Sevoflurane을 사용한 마취유도 시 적정농도는 2.5% (1.5 MAC)이라고 알려져 있으며 이 농도에서는 기도삽관에 의한 고혈압과 빈맥의 빈도는 줄일 수 있으나, 심한 저혈압을 초래할 수 있다. 뇌동맥류 환자 마취 …

The Effect of Atropine on the Bispectral Index Response to Endotracheal Intubation during Propofol and Remifentanil Anesthesia
… Activation of the peripheral nerve system by endotracheal intubation is accompanied by an increase in bispectral index (BIS). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of atropine on the BIS response to endotracheal intubation during anaesthetic induction with propofol and …

An investigation of endotracheal intubation and alternative intubation devices for use by paramedics in out-of-hospital care
… lungs is essential and can be achieved through endotracheal intubation (ETI). This said, there is debate around whether ETI is required during cardiac arrest (CA) management with arguments for and against whether CA outcomes are improved when ETI takes place. There is further debate as to …

Prehospital endotracheal intubation practices by paramedics in the provincial ambulance service of the Western Cape province of South Africa
It is well-established that endotracheal intubation in the field is associated with a considerably greater degree of difficulty, and a much higher complication and failure rate than intubation undertaken in the operating-theatre environment. The reasons for this are many-fold, have been quantified …

Prehospital advanced airway management practices by advanced life support providers: A retrospective observational study of emergency medical service providers in South Africa
Introduction: The skill of endotracheal intubation to achieve a definitive airway for critically ill and injured patients in the prehospital setting is frequently performed by advanced life support providers. Several methods may be utilised, including intubation without the use of medication, the …

Reducing Unplanned Extubations in the Intensive Care Unit With Evidence-Based Practice Recommendations
… Background: Mechanical ventilation through endotracheal intubation is a common intervention in intensive care units (ICUs) to address acute respiratory distress. UEs lead to complications and increased healthcare costs. The incidence of UE is associated with risk factors, including patient- …
