Comparative Study Observational Study
Association of Advanced Airway Insertion Timing and Outcomes After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.
While often prioritized in the resuscitation of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the optimal timing of advanced airway insertion is unknown. We evaluated the association between the timing of advanced airway (laryngeal tube and endotracheal intubation) insertion attempt and survival to hospital discharge in adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. ⋯ In the PART, timing of advanced airway insertion attempt was not associated with survival to hospital discharge.

To determine the performance and impact of an airway management team (AMT) assembled during the COVID-19 pandemic. ⋯ An AMT assembled during the COVID-19 pandemic showed high competency and effectiveness, and had favourable impact on the main responsible physicians who activated the team.

The intubation difficulty scale (IDS) includes 7 contributors that provide a comprehensive assessment of difficult intubation. However, the effect of each contributor is unclear, and the scale has not been revalidated recently and has not been validated in orient. This study determined the duration of successful intubation (DSI) for each of these 7 contributors. ⋯ We confirmed that each IDS contributor affects the DSI and validated a prediction model with 6 IDS contributors. This prediction model may facilitate the development of strategic plans for critical airway management. Furthermore, it could improve simulations and monitor learning progress and help provide valuable feedback.
