NCT ID: NCT05173220 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Tracheal Intubation Morbidity

Impact of the Bougie on the Prehospital Setting Intubation Quality.

SMURIDS2
Start date: May 20, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Tracheal intubation in an out-of-hospital setting is a frequent and potentially difficult procedure. The risk of adverse events increases dramatically with the number of attempts. The failure rate of the first intubation attempt ranges from 5 to 32% and the risk factors are unclear. In recent study, the prevalence of a failed first intubation attempt was 31.4% [95% CI = 30.2-32.6] among 1546 patients managed in an out-of-hospital setting. In this multicenter study, our center (N=462) had a rate of 36% of failure of the first attempt. Seven variables were independently associated with a failed first intubation attempt. Some of the associated factors can be improved (operator training and experience), but most cannot. Moreover some of them can not be anticipated in this context. A randomized control trial performed in an emergency department and a prospective, observational, pre-post study design showed that systematic use of a bougie during the first intubation attempt improved the success rate. Our objective is to measure the impact of a modification of our intubation modalities introducing the incitation of the use of the bougie on the first intubation attempt in the prehospital setting.
