Abstract: (1341 Views)
Background and purpose: Airway management is a fundamental principle in treatment of emergency patients and reduction of mortality. The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of prehospital emergency medicine servises (EMS) in endotracheal intubation and its related factors in mannequin.
Materials and methods: This cross-sectional analytic study was performed in 70 EMS staff in Rasht, Iran 2019. The participants were selected through census sampling. Demographic and occupational characteristics questionnaire and a checklist for tracheal intubation performance were used. Data were analyzed in SPSS V21, using Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal–Wallis Test, and ordinal logistic regression.
Results: The overall performance of EMS staff in placing endotracheal tube was moderate. There were significant correlations between endotracheal intubation and work experience (P=0.051), and experience and numbers of tracheal intubation in human (P=0.051, P=0.022, and P=0.021, respectively).
Conclusion: According to this study, frequent in-service training courses are needed to improve the performance of EMS staff.
