Airway management practices in Dutch emergency departments
A Prospective Observational Cohort Study of Airway Management in Emergency Departments in the Netherlands.
This study looks at how emergency departments in the Netherlands manage airways and intubation to see how well it works and what risks are involved for patients.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to describe the practices, success rates, and safety of airway management, specifically endotracheal intubation, in emergency departments across the Netherlands. It focuses on the planning, preparation, and execution of interventions to maintain patients' airways, which is critical in emergency care. The study will collect data on the incidence of complications associated with intubation, such as airway trauma and desaturation, to better understand the risks involved in these procedures in the emergency setting.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are all patients who undergo airway management in the emergency department.
Not a fit: Patients who undergo airway management outside of the emergency department, such as in the operating room, will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve airway management practices and patient outcomes in emergency departments.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited data on airway management practices in Dutch emergency departments, similar studies in other regions have highlighted the importance of understanding and improving these practices.
