Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study will involve all adult patients visiting the Alexandria University main hospitals' Emergency department for reasons other than trauma that will require assisted ventilation via endotracheal intubation. Those pre-intubated or intubated post CPR will not be included. The main aim is to evaluate the clinical outcome (complications) of emergency endotracheal intubation and to correlate the incidence and nature of complications associated with tracheal intubations to demographic data and patient characteristics.
