Anesthesiology in Times of Physical Disasters—Earthquakes and Typhoons
2021, Anesthesiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Several studies have shown prehospital tracheal intubation of severely injured patients to be potentially unsafe if delivered without appropriate drugs, monitoring, equipment, training, and clinical guidance.11–14 Utilizing anesthesiologists in prehospital care can lead to a survival benefit.15–19 Traumatic injuries frequently require surgical intervention, and intraoperative anesthetic technique is important to optimize patient outcomes.
Development of trauma systems and effect on outcomes after injury
2004, LancetCitation Excerpt :However, paramedics are not permitted to administer paralytic agents in many emergency medical service (EMS) regions across the USA. As a result, there is a tendency for only those patients who are in extremis or comatose to be intubated, thus producing a significant bias against the intervention.20–22 By contrast, there appears to be a survival advantage to prehospital intubation in patients with head injury receiving care in environments where paralytic agents can be administered.20
