Summary

Pre-Hospital Advanced Airway Management (PHAAM) is a potentially lifesaving intervention. A recent Danish multicentre single country study demonstrated a 99,7% incidence of successful anaesthesiologist pre-hospital endotracheal intubation, with a PHAAM-related complication rate of 7.9%. A London study revealed a significantly higher intubation failure rate among non-anaesthesiologist physicians. In Scandinavia different types of emergency medical services (EMS) and professions provide PHAAM. The success rate of prehospital endotracheal intubation (PHETI), incidence of difficult intubation and complications in the Nordic countries is not known. The aim of this study is to define PHAAM success rate and complications in different types of Nordic EMS organisations and physician critical care teams. The study is a prospective observational study with collection of PHAAM data according to the template by Sollid et al. in the 12 participating Nordic Countries EMS/HEMS centres and physician critical care teams. The primary endpoint is PHETI success on ≤2 attempts and no complications.
