OBJECTIVES: Although successful airway management is essential for emergency @entity130 care, comprehensive studies are limited. We sought to characterise current @entity130 care practice of airway management in the @entity341 ( @entity341 ) in Japan. DESIGN: Analysis of data from a prospective, observational, multicentre registry-the Japanese Emergency Airway Network (JEAN) registry. SETTING: 13 @entity4207 and community @entity341 from different geographic regions across Japan. @entity1 : 723 @entity130 @entity1 who underwent emergency intubation from March 2010 through August 2012. OUTCOME MEASURES: ED characteristics, @entity1 and operator demographics, methods of airway management, intubation success or failure at each attempt and adverse events. RESULTS: A total of 723 @entity130 @entity1 who underwent emergency intubation were eligible for the analysis. Traumatic @entity1167 comprised 32.6% (95% CI 29.3% to 36.1%) of @entity1 . @entity1170 ( @entity1170 ) was the initial method chosen in 23.9% (95% CI 21.0% to 27.2%) of all @entity130 @entity1 and in 35.5% (95% CI 31.4% to 39.9%) of @entity1 without @entity1167 . Overall, intubation was successful in  <=3 attempts in 96% of @entity1 (95% CI 94.3% to 97.2%). There was a wide variation in the initial methods of intubation; @entity1170 as the initial method was performed in 0-50.9% of all @entity130 @entity1 among 12 @entity341 . Similarly, there was a wide variation in success rates and adverse event rates across the @entity341 . Success rates varied between 35.5% and 90.5% at the first attempt, and 85.1% and 100% within three attempts across the 12 @entity341 . CONCLUSIONS: In this multicentre prospective study in Japan, we observed a high overall success rate in airway management during @entity130 care. However, the methods of intubation and success rates were highly variable among hospitals.
