Abstract


BACKGROUND: Intubation is a critical lifesaving procedure to rescue airway. Intubation techniques were dependent on patient disease and physician experience.Each technique was difference in strength and weakness


OBJECTIVE: To study first attempt success rate of intubation between sedative only intubation, intubation without a sedative agent and rapid sequence intubation (RSI)


METHODS: The Efficacy research, non-randomized study, that recorded by information sheet. The patients who underwent emergency intubation at the Emergency room’s Phayao hospital during September 1st, 2020 – March 31st, 2021 were eligible for inclusion in the analyses divided into 3 groups: sedative only intubation 86 patients, intubation without a sedative agent 69 patients and RSI 28 patients, total 183 patients. The collected data was patient information, intubation technique, discipline, etc. to record and show percent of first attempt intubation success rate and complications. Analysis the data by Chi square test and two-way analysis of variance to compare the first attempt intubation success rate and complications, finally, Control for confounding by multivariable logistic regression.


RESULTS: Total patients meeting the criteria were 183 patients. The data about sex, age, shift, glottis level were not different in statistic. The data about causes, difficult airway and discipline were statistically different. The first attempt success rate of intubation between rapid sequence intubation, intubation without a sedative agent and sedative only intubation was significantly different (85.71%, 81.16% and 59.30% respectively, p=0.003). The data showed a significant difference in the status of the patients at post discharge from the emergency department (p <0.001). Multivariable logistic regression showed RSI has increased successful rate in first attempt intubation 1.61 times (95%CI 0.44 - 5.80 P-value 0.464), but Sedative-only intubation has decreased success rate 0.33 times. (95%CI 0.14 - 0.72, p=0.006)


CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) was the best method for patient safety, quickly and with fewer complications, but more restriction. Other techniques seemed well-known and suitable for the general practitioner. This study will guide improvement & adaptation about technique and medical personnel.
