A randomized comparison of in-hospital rescuer positions for endotracheal intubation in a difficult airway.
The objective of the study was to compare in-hospital emergency medicine (EM) trainees' performance on endotracheal intubation (ETI) delivered from both the seated and standing positions. The study concluded that the position of the in-hospital provider, whether seated or standing, had no effect on the provider's ETI performance. Since environmental circumstances sometimes necessitate alternative positioning for effective ETI administration, the findings suggest that there may be value in training residents to perform ETI from both positions.
