Article Synopsis
- Despite national efforts to highlight the importance of capnography for confirming tracheal intubation, deaths from unrecognized esophageal intubation persist, prompting the adoption of a two-person verbal check during the intubation process.
- In a study across two hospitals, one implemented a one-step check and the other a two-step check, collecting feedback from anaesthetists and assistants via anonymous questionnaires throughout the process.
- The majority of participants felt that the two-person checks enhanced communication and teamwork, with high support for continued use; 82% of intubators and 94% of assistants intended to use this method for future intubations.
