Paramedics' Success and Complications in Prehospital Pediatric Intubation : A Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND: Prehospital pediatric intubation is a potentially life-saving procedure in which paramedics are relied upon. However, due to the anatomical nature of pediatrics and associated adverse events, it is more challenging compared to adult intubation. In this study, the knowledge and attitude of paramedics was assessed by measuring their overall success rate and associated complications.
METHODS: An online search using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL was conducted using relevant keywords to include studies that assess success rates and associated complications. Studies for eligibility were screened. Data were extracted from eligible studies and pooled as risk ratio (RR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI).
RESULTS: Thirty-eight studies involving 14,207 pediatrics undergoing intubation by paramedics were included in this study. The prevalence of success rate was 82.5% (95% CI, 0.745-0.832) for overall trials and 77.2% (95% CI, 0.713-0.832) success rate after the first attempt. By subgrouping the patients according to using muscle relaxants during intubation, the group that used muscle relaxants showed a high overall successful rate of 92.5% (95% CI, 0.877-0.973) and 79.9% (95% CI, 0.715-0.994) success rate after the first attempt, more than the group without muscle relaxant which represent 78.9% (95% CI, 0.745-0.832) overall success rate and 73.3% (95% CI, 0.616-0.950) success rate after first attempt.
CONCLUSION: Paramedics have a good overall successful rate of pediatric intubation with a lower complication rate, especially when using muscle relaxants.
