Objective: to analyze the causes of difficulties in intubation of emergency
patients and the application of corresponding countermeasures. Methods: the causes of
difficulty or failure in intubation of 50 patients who were intubated in our emergency
department from January 2018 to January 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, and
the corresponding treatment strategies were adopted. Results: among the 50 patients,
32 patients succeeded in intubation once, accounting for 64%; 12 patients succeeded
in intubation twice, accounting for 24%; 19 patients were difficult in intubation,
accounting for 38% of the total. With the help of anesthesiologist, 15 patients
were intubated successfully, 3 of them chose tracheotomy because of the failure of
intubation. Conclusion: it plays an important role in rescuing the life of critical patients
by analyzing the causes of difficult intubation in time, preparing for the emergency,
grasping the opportunity of intubation accurately and taking corresponding intubation
measures in time.
