[The intubation practice of paramedics custom method of Takarazuka Municipal Hospital].

ABSTRACT

It is important "to obtain cooperation of a patient" and "to practice efficiently" in paramedic intubation practice. In our hospital, we distribute a pamphlet at the time of informed consent acquisition and we present a letter of thanks after the practice. Moreover, paramedics come to the hospital everyday throughout the practice period. By the time 5 paramedics have completed the practice period, the average time is 36.4 days, the rate of patient consent is 94% and the successful rate of intubation is 99%. The paramedic intubation practice is implemented relatively smoothly.
