Airway success isn’t about complexity, it’s about appropriateness. Here’s why EMS must rethink intubation culture.
EMS airway success improves with hyperangulated blades for faster intubation and better patient outcomes.
Prehospital airway success requires optimizing ventilation, oxygenation, and perfusion before intubation to prevent hypoxia and cardiac arrest.
A retrospective analysis of 242 advanced airway cases by Parker County Hospital District EMS showed a first-pass success rate of 96.3%.
