Age
18 Years to No maximum
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Trauma patients over 18 years of age needing emergency orotracheal intubation in the emergency department
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients who are not candidates of rapid sequence intubation (RSI) for any reason Patients who remain hypoxic (arterial oxygen saturation<95%) despite adequate pre-oxygenation Patients whose arterial oxygen saturation could not be traced using pulse oxymeter (for any reason like hemodynamic shock, etc.))
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Arterial oxygen saturation immediately after the endotracheal tube placement. Timepoint: Once, immediately after endotracheal tube placement. Method of measurement: Reading of pulse oxymetry. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Time taken (in seconds) for each attempt (laryngoscopy) at intubation. Timepoint: Once at the end of each attempt. Method of measurement: Taking the time by the researcher.;Number of attempts at intubation. Timepoint: Once at the end of intubation. Method of measurement: Counting by the researcher. | — |
