The incidence, success rate, and complications of awake tracheal intubation in 1,554 patients over 12 years: an historical cohort study
2015
Purpose
Awake tracheal intubation is one recommended option to address select situations in the management of a patient with an anticipated difficult airway. A scarcity of data exists on how often awake intubation is performed or whether its use is changing over time, particularly with the increasingly widespread availability of video laryngoscopy. This retrospective database review was undertaken to determine the incidence, success, and complications of awake intubation and the incidence of other tracheal intubation techniques in the operating room over a 12-yr period (2002-2013) at our institution.
