ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aim of the study was to compare the clinical characteristics in emergency endotracheal intubation procedures between non-elderly and elderly patients.METHODS:
Data for airway registry, which were collected in two emergency departments (ED) between April 2006 and March 2010, were retrospectively reviewed. The airway registry data included patient's demographic information and variables such as Cormack-Lehane grade, 3-3-2 finger analysis, success rate, the number of attempts at intubation, complications of intubation, and clinical outcomes after intubation.RESULTS:
A total of 1,457 patients were enrolled. The mean age of the patients was 62.2+/-15.7 and 62.1%(n=905) were male. A total of 726(49.8%) patients were classified as being in the elderly intubation group(> or =65 years). Cormack-Lehane grade, 3-3-2 finger analysis, the relationship between the number of attempts and success rate, the relationship between Cormack-Lehane classification and success rate, complications, and clinical outcomes after intubation showed no significant difference between elderly and non-elderly groups.CONCLUSION:
Anatomical structures related to endotracheal intubation, the process and clinical outcomes of elderly patients are not different than for non-elderly adult patients. However, considering the lower physiologic reservoir and higher comorbidities of elderly patients, a more vigorous approach to emergency airway management in the elderly is needed.
