Description:There is evidence that clinician experience with intubation is associated with improved success rates and evidence that missed intubation attempts are associated with worse survival, at least in cardiac arrest. The recent Airway EBG paper recommends EMS agencies with low intubation proficiency should use SGAs instead of intubation in cardiac arrest. This all begs the question of whether agencies who intubate more often have higher success rates than those who do not. That’s exactly the question a new paper from Annals of Emergency Medicine attempts to answer. Join Dr. Jarvis for a discussion of the paper and his thoughts on how to integrate its findings into practice.Citations:1.        Jarvis JL, Panchal AR, Lyng JW, Bosson N, Donofrio-Odmann JJ, Braude DA, Browne LR, Arinder M, Bolleter S, Gross T, et al.: Evidence-Based Guideline for Prehospital Airway Management.
