Abstract

Background

Emergency Department (ED) Intubation is one of the most critical times during a patient's hospital course. Ideal performance requires training, equipment, and mindset to overcome the barriers of anatomy, physiology, and human factors.

Objectives

We believe that EDs should use the same model of quality improvement and leadership for intubation as other critical procedures such as ED ultrasound.

Discussion

This paper delineates one program's creation of a comprehensive airway quality improvement (QI) program and will hopefully serve as a roadmap for other centers.

Conclusions

The creation of an airway QI program headed by a designated airway lead has the potential to improve patient care and procedural success in the ED.

气道领导和创建一个全面的紧急气道质量计划

背景急诊科（ED）插管是患者住院过程中最关键的时刻之一。理想的表现需要训练、设备和心态来克服解剖学、生理学和人为因素的障碍。目的：我们认为急诊在插管方面应采用与其他关键手术（如急诊超声）相同的质量改进和领导模式。本文描述了一个项目创建一个全面的气道质量改善（QI）项目，希望能作为其他中心的路线图。由指定的气道负责人领导的气道QI项目的创建有可能改善急诊科的患者护理和手术成功率。
