ABSTRACT
Objective:
To evaluate the competencies of intensivists and clinicians on endotracheal intubation (ETE) and airway safety.
Materials and Methods:
The survey was published both as printed and electronically. It was shared in the announcements of speciality associations and congresses.
Results:
Of the participants, 30% of them received the first ETE training in the medical faculty, 21% during internship, 38% during residency, 1.1% in the critical care subspeciality residency. Of those who received ETE training on a patient, 13 were in emergency medicine, 89 in anesthesiology and reanimation, 1 in infectious diseases, 1 in general surgery, 9 in chest diseases, 11 in internal medicine, and 3 in neurology. Also, 81% of the participants feel that they are experienced enough (18 emergency medicine, 102 anesthesiology and reanimation, 2 infectious diseases, 3 general surgery, 10 chest diseases, 8 internal medicine, 2 neurology, and 4 pediatrics), 58 of whom were critical care specialists or subsepecialty residents.
Conclusion:
We concluded that ETE education had been started from medical school, but except for anesthesiology and reanimation and emergency and intensive care, the training programmes were not repeated and participation was not sufficient. We recommend at least 40 ETE on the mannequin and capnograph used for patient safety.
