Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to identify factors linked to the failure of the first intubation attempt in emergencies outside of hospitals, spanning 17 months across 10 emergency medical units.
- Among 1,546 patients analyzed, there was a 31.4% failure rate, with 59% of cases involving cardiac arrest.
- Seven key factors were found to increase the risk of failure, including the operator's experience, patient's physical attributes, and pre-existing conditions, while also noting that adverse events rose with subsequent intubation attempts.
Background: The quality of procedural analgesia and sedation among trauma patients has not been studied much in the prehospital setting. The main objective of this study was to characterize the quality of procedural analgesia sedation practices in prehospital settings in trauma patients.
Methods: This was an open-label observational prospective multicenter study (January 01, 2012-December 31, 2013).
Background: Chest pain frequently prompts emergency medical services (EMS) call-outs. Early management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) cases is crucial, but there is still controversy over the relevance of pain severity as a diagnostic criterion.
Study Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between the severity of chest pain at the time of out-of-hospital emergency care and diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Study Objective: Emergency tracheal intubation is reported to be more difficult with single-use plastic than with reusable metal laryngoscope blades in both inhospital and out-of-hospital settings. Single-use metal blades have been developed but have not been compared with conventional metal blades. This controlled trial compares the efficacy and safety of single-use metal blades with reusable metal blades in out-of-hospital emergency tracheal intubation.

Methods: Adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) were included prospectively. The emergency medical services (EMS) in a large suburb northeast of Paris (France) recorded data for standard criteria for EMS care for CA and specific criteria on device use-application time, ease of application and use (visual analog scale score: 0, impossible; 5, very easy), technical incidents, and clinical complications.
