First Attempt Success Rates of Endotracheal Intubations
There are several limitations of our study. First, this study used registry data on ETIs performed at just two academic emergency departments. Thus, our results may not be representative of academic emergency departments' environments in Korea. Second, There are also unmeasured potential confounders, including medication, obesity, disease severity, etc. Third, because this study was primarily based on a registry kept by the intubators, there may have been self-reporting biases, such as under-reporting of failures.
