RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of crew fatigue on the performance of a high-risk clinical skill in a clinical setting. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of first-pass intubation success comparing critical care providers with self-reported fatigue and those without fatigue in a transport environment. RESULTS: No statistical difference was found in first-pass intubation between fatigued and nonfatigued practitioners. CONCLUSION: Future studies should determine the impact of fatigue on psychomotor and cognitive skills using validated methods of assessing the level of fatigue at the time of skill performance.
