Objective:
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of crew fatigue on the performance of a high-risk clinical skill in a clinical setting.
Methods:
This was a retrospective analysis of first-pass intubation success comparing critical care providers with self-reported fatigue and those without fatigue in a transport environment.
Results:
No statistical difference was found in first-pass intubation between fatigued and nonfatigued practitioners.
Conclusion:
Future studies should determine the impact of fatigue on psychomotor and cognitive skills using validated methods of assessing the level of fatigue at the time of skill performance.

1. Nursing Care of Patients Before Intubation
Before the endotracheal intubation procedure, nurses play an essential role in ensuring the process goes smoothly. The nurses must be familiar with intubation...
Endotracheal Tube Extubation
Procedure
Extubation removes the endotracheal tube (ETT) from the patient on mechanical ventilation. It requires a well-coordinated, multidisciplinary approach involving physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals....
Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure
The ET tube comprises various components, including a standard adaptor to attach a bag-valve-mask (BVM) or ventilator, a cuff, a pilot balloon, and radiopaque markings along its length to measure the insertion distance. The tube sizes...
