Impact of checklists on peri-intubation care in ED trauma patients

Intubation Checklists: Expanding Beyond Single Centers

“…highlighting the impact that preprocedure checklists can have on safety metrics of peri‐intubation care in trauma patients. This trend was previously demonstrated by Conroy et al . who evaluated similar measures of peri‐intubation care.…”

“…who evaluated similar measures of peri‐intubation care. Both studies employed a retrospective pre/post design and had similar number of patients, 141 in Smith et al., versus 187 in Conroy et al . Conroy et al.…”

“…found that checklists increased rapid sequence intubation use and there was a trend for increased use of sedation after intubation, while Smith et al. found that checklists are associated with reduction of intubation complications and a decrease in “paralysis‐to‐intubation time.”…”

Systematic review and meta‐analysis of first‐pass success rates in emergency department intubation: Creating a benchmark for emergency airway care

“…The characteristics of these studies are outlined in Table . The search yielded four relevant ‘Trauma‐Only’ papers, which were all small, single‐centre studies from the USA, reporting a total of 1708 intubations …”

“…The search yielded four relevant 'Trauma-Only' papers, which were all small, singlecentre studies from the USA, reporting a total of 1708 intubations. [22][23][24][25] The primary outcome for the 'ED-All' papers showed a pooled FPS rate of 84.1% (95% CI 80.1-87.4). The FPS rate was 81.8% (95% CI 76.3-86.2) for 'Trauma-Only'.…”
