Correlation of Preflight Risk Assessment Scores With First-Pass Intubation Success in a Critical Care Transport Environment.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of crew fatigue on the performance of a high-risk clinical skill in a clinical setting.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of first-pass intubation success comparing critical care providers with self-reported fatigue and those without fatigue in a transport environment.

Results: No statistical difference was found in first-pass intubation between fatigued and nonfatigued practitioners.
