Tracheal Intubation Practice and Safety Across International PICUs: A Report From National Emergency Airway Registry for Children*

Abstract

There were both similarities and differences in tracheal intubation practice and outcomes across international PICUs. Fewer adverse tracheal intubation-associated events were reported from International versus North American PICUs. International PICUs used cuffed endotracheal tube less often and had higher proportion of endotracheal tube change.
