Abstract | ||||
INTRODUCTION In recent years, advancements in medicine and medical technology have strived to decrease the morbidity and mortality of patients worldwide. Guidelines have been formulated to assist physicians in decision making however, endotracheal intubation (ETI) still carries significant health risks not only to the patient but also to the medical personnel. ETI is linked to various unwarranted outcomes ranging from mild to moderate to severe. These outcomes bring forth further burden on healthcare resources as the duration of hospital stay increases. To our knowledge, there is a limited number of studies conducted in the Middle East and African countries to identify the magnitude of the problem. AIM OF THE WORK This study aimed at determining the outcomes (complications) of ETI in non-traumatic patients presenting to the emergency medicine department at Alexandria Main University Hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS a prospective cohort study was done on a total of 100 subjects who were above 18 years of age and had successful intubation in the emergency department. All subjects’ data were collected from July 2022 to December 2022 and followed up until discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU) or their mortality. Data were fed to the computer and analyzed using IBM SPSS software | ||||
