P.57 OAA survey #180: Management of unanticipated difficult airway and failed intubation in UK obstetric units following the introduction of OAA / DAS guidelines: 2 - Management of failed tracheal intubation

摘要

Introduction: We performed an OAA survey in 2013 that looked at management of failed intubation and difficult airways in UK units, which helped inform development of the OAA / DAS national guidelines.2 This follow up survey was designed to look at how these guidelines have impacted the management of failed tracheal intubation (FTI). Methods: OAA survey #180 was sent to UK lead anaesthetists in January 2017 (n=197). Questions included details of the management of FTI in the calendar year 2016, and current availability of airway equipment to allow direct comparison with the situation in 2013.
