Official Title: Cross Sectional Study to Determine Whether HEAVEN CRITERIA is a Better Tool Than Modified LEMON Score for Predicting Difficult Intubation in In-hospital Emergency Airway Management
Brief Summary:
Emergency tracheal intubation is a lifesaving procedure frequently performed on critically ill and injured patients in the emergency department (ED).Emergency intubations are more difficult than elective intubations in the operating room setting because of the sicker patient population with a limited physiologic reserve and less controlled setting in the ED.Indeed, the proportion of difficult intubation ranges from 10% to 27% in the ED setting , whereas the rate ranges from 1% to 9% of elective intubation in the…
