ABSTRACT
Objetivos: Analizar las características del manejo de la vía aérea (VA) en emergencias prehospitalarias, sus complicaciones y establecer factores predictores de fracaso en el primer intento de intubación orotraqueal (FIPI). Método: Estudio observacional de cohortes retrospectivo de pacientes que precisaron intubación orotraqueal por el servicio de emergencias prehospitalarias de Castilla La Mancha, desde el 01-06-2017 hasta el 01-01-2021. Se analizaron características de los pacientes, del procedimiento y sus complicaciones, se realizó una regresión logística para detectar factores predictores de FIPI. Resultados: Se incluyeron 425 pacientes, 417 (98,1%) fueron intubados con éxito y 326 (76,7%) en el primer intento. Se registraron 183 complicaciones en 94 pacientes (22,1%). Los factores predictores de FIPI fueron la edad > 55 años (OR = 1,94; IC 95% 1,10-4,23), índice de masa corporal > 30 (OR = 9,14; IC 95% 4,40-19,00); saturación de oxígeno < 90% (OR = 3,33; IC 95% 1,06-10,58); puntuación en la Glasgow Coma Scale entre 9 y 13 (OR = 1,58; IC 95% 1,28-6,9); intubación realizada en vía pública (OR = 2,99; IC 95% 1,42-6,29); posición distinta a la bipedestación (OR = 2,09; IC 95% 1,08-7,25); laringoscopia directa (OR = 2,39; IC 95% 1,20-6,55); uso de estilete (OR = 1,80; IC 95% 1,40-3,78); y clasificación Cormack-Lehane $ 2 (OR = 6,50; IC 95% 3,96-30,68). Conclusiones: El procedimiento de intubación se realizó de forma habitual en el primer intento. Existen factores asociados a FIPI que permiten individualizar el manejo de la VA. (AU)
Objectives: To analyze the characteristics of prehospital emergency airway management, including complications; to explore predictors of first-attempt failure of orotracheal intubation. Material and methods: Observational retrospective cohort study of patients requiring orotracheal intubation by the prehospital emergency services of Castile-La Mancha between June 1, 2017, and January 1, 2021. We analyzed patient and procedure characteristics and complications using logistic regression analysis to detect factors that could predict firstattempt intubation failure. Results: A total of 425 patients were included; 417 (98.1%) were intubated successfully, including 326 (76.7%) on the first attempt. Complications occurred in 183 intubations in 94 patients (22.1%). Predictors of first-attempt failure were age over 55 years (odds ratio [OR], 1.94; 95% CI, 1.10-4.23), body mass index over 30 (OR, 9.14; 95% CI, 4.40-19.00), oxygen saturation less than 90% (OR, 3.33; 95% CI, 1.06-10.58), a Glasgow Coma Score between 9 and 13 (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.28-6.9), intubation in a public place (OR, 2.99; 95% CI, 1.42-6.29), intubation done in any other than standing position (OR, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.08-7.25), direct laryngoscopy (OR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.20- 6.55), use of a stylet (OR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.40-3.78), and a Cormack-Lehane classification of 2 or higher (OR, 6.50; 95% CI, 3.96-30.68). Conclusion: Orotracheal intubation is generally accomplished on the first attempt. Factors associated with first-attempt failure can facilitate tailored approaches to upper airway management. (AU)

OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of the attention given by emergency medical services teams working in mobile intensive care units (MICU) versus patients arriving at the hospital under their own means with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) event in terms of time to reperfusion (TR), mortality at 30 days and six months. METHODS: We retrospectively studied 634 consecutive patients with STEMI who underwent primary a percutaneous coronary intervention from January 1st 2015 to December 31st 2018 in a single centre. Depending on the first medical contact patients were classified into two groups, MICU versus walk-in patients. We extracted data on patients' characteristics, symptoms, treatments, times to reperfusion and mortality. RESULTS: In our study 634 patients were included, of whom 59.0% were initially attended by the MICU. Differences were seen between the two groups in time delays to the first medical contact (120.0 vs 63.0 min; p < 0.001) and TR (208.0 Vs 150.0 min; p < 0.001). Patients attended by the MICUs presented a shorter ICU and hospital stay. The lowest 30-day mortality rate was observed in MICU group: 9.0% in contrast with 4.5%, p = 0.03; remaining after 6 months. The multivariable analysis showed that the initial attention given by MICU to STEMI patients was a protective agent against mortality [OR: 0.32 (0.11-0.90); p = 0.03]. CONCLUSION: Initial attention of the patients with STEMI by doctor-on-board-MICU and available 24 h a day 7 days a week as part of a regional network (CORECAM), was associated with a decrease in the ischemia time, hospital stay and mortality of these patients in our environment.
