During the 11-year study period, no cannot intubate/cannot ventilate situation was recorded and no patient was harmed due to airway management complications.
The outcome measures were defined by the study authors and included success rate of the intervention, progression to invasive management, complications, mortality, hospitalization, duration of hospitalization, and cost.
Data collection was carried out by pretested, multi-structured, interviewer-administered questionnaires to identify clinical profiles of children, harmful first aid measures, emergency clinical management, reasons for delayed management, complications and outcomes of pesticide poisoning events.
We reviewed observational and interventional studies with outcome measures defined by the study authors that included incidence of injury, management type, success rate of the intervention, progression to invasive management, complications, mortality, hospitalization, duration of hospitalization, and cost.
The current study aimed to comprehensively evaluate clinical profiles, harmful first aid measures, emergency clinical management, complications and outcomes related to acute pesticide poisoning among children in the rural community of Sri Lanka.
We analyzed epidemiological variables, past history, severity scale scores (Glasgow Coma Scale at admission, Hunt-Hess, World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies Scale, Fisher and APACHE II), diagnostic methods, therapeutic management, complications, functional status at discharge and mortality.
In this back ground, the current study aimed to identify clinical profiles, poison-related factors, harmful first aid measures, clinical management, complications, outcome and risk factors of acute pesticide poisoning among children in the rural community of Sri Lanka.
Cervical spine instability is studied with one-way and two-way sensitivity analyses providing rankings of cervical spine management strategies for probabilities of management complications based on QALYs.
There is a cautionary note in unconditionally using early collar removal for an individual without considering cervical spine instability and management complications.
The conceptual premises presented are developed from a detailed review of pertinent studies over 25 years and include management complications specific to TBI; such as increased intracranial pressure and complications that anyone critically ill might experience [2].
