Impact of specialty training on rates of DI, repeat attempts at laryngoscopy, and esophageal intubation.2,6,7,11–13 Note that in the study by Simpson et al,13 reported rates of DI reflect a patient history of DI, not DI encountered during the study period. All emergency endotracheal intubations in the studies by Martin et al6 and Simpson et al13 were performed, supervised, or both by clinicians with formal training in anesthesiology. DI = difficult intubation; Esoph Intub = esophageal intubation.
