Sponsor's own description

Airway management is a critical procedure in emergency medicine, especially endotracheal intubation, which can be life-saving. Various techniques, such as video laryngoscopes and conventional laryngoscopes, are used, with success depending on first-pass success. The aim of this retrospective data analysis is to determine the success rate of endotracheal intubation in the first attempt in the Zug Rescue Service between 01/20 and 01/25 with various airway management devices already used in everyday life. The individual complications should secondary with regard to frequency and category as well as possible risk factors. risk factors. The aim is to examine the data on airway management of patients who had to be intubated due to a critical illness (e.g. impaired oxygenation or ventilation, reduced vigilance, cardiovascular arrest, etc.). The data is continuously collected and evaluated by the RDZ as part of quality assurance.
