Abstract

This study aimed to assess the availability, design, and contents of difficult airway trolleys in hospitals in Victoria, Australia. A survey audit was conducted with a 92.3% reply rate, and the responses from 22 major Victorian hospitals were analysed. The results showed that difficult airway trolleys were available in 100% of operating theatres, emergency departments and intensive care units, and the rate of standardisation was high. Compliance with recommended design features and resources was on average 68.3%. There was no significant difference in the compliance rate of major tertiary centres compared with other hospitals. The carriage of non-essential items was reduced compared with earlier audits. However, there was heterogeneity in the brands of supraglottic airway devices, videolaryngoscopes and cognitive aids used. The study highlights the need for ongoing improvement to the organization and content of difficult airway trolleys, and for further discussion regarding the safety of equipment variation across institutions.

对维多利亚州部分医院的困难气道推车进行全面审计。
本研究旨在评估澳大利亚维多利亚州医院中困难气道推车的可用性、设计和内容。研究对维多利亚州 22 家主要医院的回复进行了分析。结果显示,100% 的手术室、急诊科和重症监护室都配备了困难气道推车,而且标准化率很高。对推荐设计特征和资源的符合率平均为 68.3%。与其他医院相比,大型三级医疗中心的达标率没有明显差异。与早期的审核相比,非必要项目的携带量有所减少。不过,所使用的声门上气道装置、视频喉镜和认知辅助设备的品牌存在差异。这项研究强调了持续改进困难气道手推车的组织和内容的必要性,以及进一步讨论各机构设备差异安全性的必要性。
