“…Nevertheless, incorrectly performed ETI carries high morbidity [3]. The failure rates for ETI placement by nonphysician providers may be as much as 15% higher [4,5] than the failure rates documented for physicians in the prehospital and hospital settings [6]. Among several related factors, one explanation for this discrepancy may be the greater availability and use of rapid sequence induction (RSI) intubation techniques by physicians.…”

In 2012 Critical Care published many articles pertaining to the resuscitation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and trauma. In this review, we summarize several of these articles, including those regarding advances in resuscitation techniques and methods. We examine articles pertaining to prehospital endotracheal intubation, the use of specialized devices for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and policies regarding transport destinations for both cardiac arrest and trauma patients. Articles on the predictors of outcome in both pediatric and adult populations are evaluated, including articles on the effects of obesity on survival from hemorrhage and pediatric outcomes from traumatic cardiac arrest. The effects of the type and volume of resuscitation fluids for both adult and pediatric patients are discussed, as are the factors contributing to hypothermia in trauma patients.

“…Both the Combitube and Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) have been successfully used by non-anaesthetists during resuscitation [1,2,3,4,5]. However, only one study (using the Combitube) has assessed how well these skills are retained after the initial training period.…”

Cricothyrotomy after trauma is safe for initial airway access among patients who require the establishment of an emergent airway. The prolonged use of a cricothyrotomy tube, however, remains controversial. Although no study to date has demonstrated any benefit of routine conversion to tracheostomy, considerable deficiencies in existing studies highlight the need for further investigations of this practice.

Failed Rapid Sequence Intubation in Trauma Patients

Abstract: ETC insertion is an effective method of airway control in trauma patients who fail orotracheal RSI. It may be particularly useful in the patient with maxillofacial trauma and offers a practical alternative to surgical cricothyroidotomy in difficult airway situations.
