The Effect of Prehospital Protocol Modification during COVID-19 on First-Pass Intubation Success Rates
Lack of exposure to TI during the COVID-19 pandemic likely contributed to this local agency's decreased first-pass TI success in 2021. Moving forward, agencies should utilize simulation labs and other continuing education efforts to help maintain prehospital providers' proficiency in performing this critical procedure, particularly when protocol changes temporarily hinder or prohibit field-based psychomotor skill development.
