Implementing the Safe Airway Checklist (SAC) at the emergency department of a major teaching hospital in Rwanda: A pre- and post-intervention study

The implementation of the Safe Airway Checklist in the ED of a major teaching hospital in Rwanda significantly improved several critical aspects of airway management. While no statistically significant reduction in post-intubation complications were observed, the decreasing trend of complication rates suggests promising benefits that merit further exploration. These findings highlight the value of standardized checklists in enhancing clinical practices and underscore the need for ongoing research to fully understand their impact on patient outcomes especially in low resources settings.
