Advanced airway management: a descriptive analysis of complications and factors associated with first-attempt intubation failure in prehospital emergency care.

Objectives: To analyze the characteristics of prehospital emergency airway management, including complications; to explore predictors of first-attempt failure of orotracheal intubation.

Material And Methods: Observational retrospective cohort study of patients requiring orotracheal intubation by the prehospital emergency services of Castile-La Mancha between June 1, 2017, and January 1, 2021. We analyzed patient and procedure characteristics and complications using logistic regression analysis to detect factors that could predict firstattempt intubation failure.

Mobile Intensive Care Unit versus Hospital walk-in patients, in the treatment of first episode ST- elevation myocardial infarction.

Objective: To determine the impact of the attention given by emergency medical services teams working in mobile intensive care units (MICU) versus patients arriving at the hospital under their own means with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) event in terms of time to reperfusion (TR), mortality at 30 days and six months.

Methods: We retrospectively studied 634 consecutive patients with STEMI who underwent primary a percutaneous coronary intervention from January 1st 2015 to December 31st 2018 in a single centre. Depending on the first medical contact patients were classified into two groups, MICU versus walk-in patients.
