Management of difficult airway among patients with oropharyngeal angioedema.
This study assessed the impact of a quality improvement program to manage patients with difficult airway associated with oropharyngeal angioedema patients called DART (difficult airway response team). This retrospective review compared patient charges from July 2003 to June 2008 (pre-DART) to charges from July 2008 to June 2013 (post-DART). Patient characteristics, airway evaluation, and interventions were compared. There was a higher incidence of patients requiring intubation in the post-DART cohort (67%) versus the pre-DART cohort (39%). The results showed the approach offers adequate time and resources for airway evaluation prior to intervention and allows fewer numbers of attempts to secure an airway.

Tracheal intubation practice and safety across international PICUs: a report from national emergency airway registry for children.
Researchers hypothesized that there would be differences in the process of care and adverse outcomes for tracheal intubation across pediatric ICUs (PICUs) in six different geographical regions: Germany, Japan, Singapore, India, New Zealand, and North America. Adverse tracheal intubation-associated events and desaturation occurrences in PICUS in these regions were evaluated, and the international PICUs compared with those in North America. The proportion of tracheal intubations for endotracheal tube change was greater in international PICUs, and the median age for international tracheal intubations was younger when compared with North America PICUs. Occurrences of adverse tracheal intubation-associated events were slightly lower for international than for North American PICUs, except for Germany and Japan, which were slightly higher.
