Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Unfortunately, many complications can arise during RSI, the incidence of which has remained high. These complications commonly lead to poor or life-threatening outcomes and include desaturation, hypotension, dysrhythmia, cardiac arrest, pneumothorax, dental trauma, and esophageal intubation. According to the 4th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anesthetists, it was determined that 30% of patients in the ED and 60% of patients in the ICU experiencing an airway related incident, suffered brain damage or death. The number of failed intubation attempts (3+) has been directly correlated with the an increased development of complications. Thus, establishing effective methods of decreasing the occurrence of failed attempts will result in an immediate reduction of unintended issues.
To maximize FPS and increase the safety of the procedure, it is essential to develop a tool to maximize efficacy. The introduction of checklists as a process improvement tool has been identified as a successful strategy for improving the effectiveness and quality of procedures throughout healthcare. Integration of a checklist in the RSI procedure will help to increase FPS rates and act as a method to aid in continuous evaluation and improvement of overall airway performance.
Although many airway performance improvement studies exist, our institution is unique in that we are a new Emergency Medicine (EM) Residency program that will be comprised of only post-graduate year 1 (PGY1) and post-graduate year 2 (PGY2) EM residents at the commencement of data collection. Furthermore, our clinical skills training process involves an integrative approach, pioneered by our interdisciplinary team of educators. Continuous evaluation of FPS and the incidence of RSI-related complications will allow for assessment of not only our quality improvement initiative, but of our educational methodology as well. Overall, implementation of quality and performance improvement strategies can mitigate the occurrence of adverse events and lead to improved health outcomes for our patients. This is of paramount importance to us as providers and to our community as a whole.
