Paramedic rapid sequence intubation in patients with non-traumatic coma

Introduction Pre-hospital intubation by paramedics is widely used in comatose patients prior to transportation to hospital, but the optimal technique for intubation is uncertain. One approach is paramedic rapid sequence intubation (RSI), which may improve outcomes in adult patients with traumatic br...

description Introduction Pre-hospital intubation by paramedics is widely used in comatose patients prior to transportation to hospital, but the optimal technique for intubation is uncertain. One approach is paramedic rapid sequence intubation (RSI), which may improve outcomes in adult patients with traumatic brain injury. However, many patients present to emergency medical services with coma of non-traumatic cause and the role of paramedic RSI in these patients remains uncertain. Methods The electronic Victorian Ambulance Clinical Information System was searched for the term ‘suxamethonium’ between 2008 and 2011. We reviewed the patient care records and included patients with suspected non-traumatic coma who were treated and transported by road-based paramedics.

Methods The electronic Victorian Ambulance Clinical Information System was searched for the term ‘suxamethonium’ between 2008 and 2011. We reviewed the patient care records and included patients with suspected non-traumatic coma who were treated and transported by road-based paramedics. Demographics, intubation conditions, vital signs (before and after drug administration) and complications were recorded. Younger patients (&lt;60 years) were compared with older patients. Results There were 1152 paramedic RSI attempts of which 551 were for non-traumatic coma. The success rate for intubation was 97.5%. There was a significant drop in blood pressure in younger patients (&lt;60 years) with the mean systolic blood pressure decreasing by 16 mm Hg (95% CI 11 to 21). In older patients, the systolic blood pressure also decreased significantly by 20 mm Hg (95% CI 17 to 24). Four patients suffered brief cardiac arrest during pre-hospital care, all of whom were successfully resuscitated and transported to hospital. Conclusions Paramedic RSI in patients with non-traumatic coma has a high procedural success rate. Further studies are required to determine whether this procedure improves outcomes.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1472-0205</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1472-0213</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1136/emermed-2013-202930</identifier><identifier>PMID: 24473409</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: BMJ Publishing Group LTD</publisher><subject>Adult ; Aged ; Airway management ; Allied Health Personnel ; Anesthesia ; Coma - etiology ; Drug dosages ; Emergency Medical Services - methods ; Female ; Humans ; Intensive care ; Intubation ; Intubation, Intratracheal - methods ; Laryngoscopy ; Male ; Middle Aged ; Neuromuscular Depolarizing Agents - administration &amp; dosage ; Paramedics ; Patients ; Success ; Succinylcholine - administration &amp; dosage ; Traumatic brain injury ; Treatment Outcome ; Ventilation ; Victoria</subject><ispartof>Emergency medicine journal : EMJ, 2015-01, Vol.32 (1), p.60-64</ispartof><rights>Published by the BMJ Publishing Group Limited.
