A lil help please


Recommended Posts

I am writing a proposal, and am trying to recall a study I read many years ago.

It was a study that reported that # of ETT attempts, independant of other difficult airway factors, also increased the difficulty of the ETT attmept. In other words, everytime you placed the blade in the mouth of the patient the chance of failure increased. IIRC the chance increased to 25% by the third attempt.

It was from long enough ago that I didnt scan and PDF it.

For the life of me I cant find that study now. I am 75% sure it came from the ASA or from the Annals of Emergency medicine, but I could be wrong. My google-fu and pubmed-fu and kung fu are all failing me today. Ive been looking for two days.

Anyone recall that study and have the citation? or betteryet the actual PDF?

Many Thanks.

Many thanks guys, but no, none of those. The Mort study I already have as a foundation reference in my proposal, but I need this specific artcile for a specific point.
