The Emergency Care Institute is conducting a multi-centre observational study on emergency department intubation practices.
The Australian and New Zealand emergency department Airway Registry (Phase III) (ANZEDAR) study forms an airway registry.
The Australian and New Zealand emergency department Airway Registry (Phase III) - ANZEDAR
The data being collected is used to describe the practice of airway management in Australia and New Zealand emergency departments.
Participating departments receive a detailed dashboard feedback. The data design allows each site to monitor their own practice with the aim of continual development and quality improvement.
Project start date: January 2014
Project status: Ongoing
Metrics
The metrics include:
- non-identifying patient demographics
- indication for intubation
- rate of first pass success
- the rate of complications.
