PG - 69-76 LID - 10.29390/cjrt-2022-015 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: Emergency intubation is a high-risk procedure in children. Studies describing intubation practices in locations other than pediatric centres are scarce and varied. This study described pediatric intubations in adult-based community emergency departments (EDs) and determined what factors were associated with intubated-related adverse events (AEs) and described outcomes of children transferred to a quaternary care pediatric institution. METHODS: This is a retrospective review of data collected between January 2006 and March 2017 at Lakeridge Health and Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). Patients were <18 years and intubated in Lakeridge Health EDs; those intubated prior to ED arrival were excluded. Primary outcomes were intubation first-pass success (FPS) and AEs secondary to intubation. RESULTS: Patients (n = 121) were analyzed, and median (interquartile range (IQR)) age was 3.7 (0.4-14.3) years. There were 76 (62.8%) FPS, with no difference between pediatricians (n = 25, 23%) or anaesthetists (n = 12, 11%), versus all other providers (paramedic n = 13 (12%), ED physician n = 37 (34%), respiratory therapist n = 20 (18%), transfer team n = 2 (2%)). The proportion of AEs was 24 (19.8%, n = 21 minor, n = 3 major), with no significant difference between pediatricians or anaesthetists versus all other providers. Data from 68 children transferred to SickKids were available, with the majority extubated within a short median (IQR) time of admission, 1.2 (0.29-3.8) days. CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric intubations were rare in a Canadian adult-based community hospital system. Most intubations demonstrated FPS with relatively few AEs and no significant differences between health provider type. Future investigations should utilize multi-centred data to inform strategies suited for organizations' unique practice cultures, including training programs.
