Efficacy of pre-hospital rapid sequence intubation in paediatric traumatic brain injury: A 9-year observational study

Prehospital RSI in paediatric patients with TBI can safely be performed by highly trained paramedics. Overall, we observed more favourable long-term outcomes in patients who received prehospital intubation than those who did not, however our study is not powered to detect a significant difference. Intubation prior to transport might be beneficial for major trauma patients.
