Prehospital intubation using both a sedative and a paralytic may double the odds of first-pass success compared with intubation without medication, a US study finds.
In a US study of patients without cardiac arrest who required prehospital intubation, rapid sequence intubation , involving the use of a sedative and paralytic, was associated with increased odds of first-pass success compared with intubation without medication.
Researchers performed a retrospective observational analysis using the 2022 Emergency Services Organization Data Collaborative dataset containing records from emergency medical services agencies in the US. The analysis included 12,713 patients who underwent at least one intubation attempt during a 911 response. Patients in cardiac arrest were excluded. The researchers categorized drug-assisted airway management approaches on the basis of medications administered before the initial endotracheal intubation attempt: RSI , sedative-only intubation , paralytic-only intubation , and no-medication intubation .The overall first-pass success rate was 75.1%. The adjusted odds of achieving first-pass success were higher with RSI and paralytic-only intubation than with no-medication intubation."In this analysis of a large national EMS dataset of noncardiac arrest patients undergoing endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation was associated with twofold higher odds of first-pass success compared with sedation-only or no-medication approaches," the authors wrote.The study was led by Jeffrey L. Jarvis, MD, MS, EMT-P, Burnett College of Medicine, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, Texas. It wasThe study focused solely on the association between drug combination and first-pass success, without evaluating causation, procedure indication appropriateness, adverse events, or clinical outcomes. EMS treatment protocols were not uniform across agencies, and the dataset lacked information on clinician experience with intubation. Variability in EMS protocols and clinician experience, potential data entry or documentation errors , and a small sample size for paralytic-only intubations were additional limitations.Funding information was not provided for the study. One author reported serving as an unpaid board member for the National Emergency Medical Service Quality Alliance, the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians, and the Prehospital Guidelines Consortium, unrelated to this study. He also reported receiving unrestricted honoraria for speaking on various topics at EMS-related conferences.
