Video-Assisted Laryngoscopy for Pediatric Tracheal Intubation in the Emergency Department: A Multicenter Study of Clinical Outcomes

Airway management in the paediatric difficult intubation registry: a propensity score matched analysis of outcomes over time

“…There is a developing body of literature on the high risk nature of tracheal intubation and the role of video laryngoscopy in improving patient safety in paediatric 14 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 and neonatal 31 , 32 , 33 intensive care units, as well as emergency departments. 34 , 35 In the current cohort, encounters in which the anaesthesia team was called to assist in an emergency intubation in another location, often an intensive care unit or emergency department, were associated with increased incidence of severe complications. We believe the findings of this study are broadly applicable for all clinicians performing tracheal intubation in children.…”

Emergency airway management in Brazil

“…Three examples of well-established multi-institution airway registries include the National Emergency Airway Registry (NEAR), the brainchild of Dr. Ron Walls from Harvard Medical School, the National Emergency Airway Registry for Children (NEAR4KIDS), and the Japanese Emergency Airway Network(JEAN). [31][32][33] As academic emergency physician leaders in Brazil continue to build their own strong airway management research platforms, the creation of local and national airway registries would create a value asset for future research success.…”

“…: COVID-19), as well as a lower rate of intubation-related adverse events in these populations. [39][40][41][42][43][44] Building an emergency department video laryngoscopy program requires three basic steps: investment in the necessary equipment, mastery of the technique, and development of relevant clinical protocols:…”
