SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Introduction: Endotracheal intubation (ETI) in the prehospital setting poses unique challengeswhere multiple ETI attempts are associated with adverse patient outcomes. Early identificationof difficult ETI cases will allow providers to tailor airway-man agement efforts to minimizecomplications associated with ETI. We sought to derive and validate a prehospital difficult airwayidentification tool based on predictors of difficult ETI in other settings.
