Physical Factors Affecting Success Rate During Endotracheal Intubation

본 연구는 기관 내 삽관 수행 시 성공률에 영향을 미치는 신체적 요인에 대해 알아보기 위한 비동등성 단일군 사후 유사 실험연구이다. 연구결과 기관 내 삽관을 성공적으로 수행한 시간과 신체적 요인은 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 기관 내 삽관 수행 시 수행자의 팔의 각도는 수행시간에 영향을 미쳤으며, 팔의 각도가 좁아질수록 수행시간이 짧아지는 결과를 보였다. 기관 내 삽관 수행 시 수행자의 팔의 각도를 줄일 수 있도록 노력한다면 성공적인 기관 내 삽관을 시행할 수 있을 것이다. 하지만 다양한 환경 및 직군에 대한 추가적인 후속 연구를 통해 임상적 활용의 가능성을 확인해야 할 것이다.

In this paper, We propose the purpose the examine the physical factors that influence the success rate during the endotracheal intubation and to provide the basic data for effective intubation success. The subject of this study was 42 students in emergency rescue department who had completed the BLS Health Care-provider and a specialized airway maintenance course dealing with endotracheal intubation and it is a similar experimental study after the non-equivalence single group. For data analysis, SPSS 23.0 Version was used. The study methods were measuring the grip fotce of subjects, the angle of arm during intubation tube, distance from manikin, palm length, etc. The results showed that there was a correlation between the time of successful endotracheal intubation and the physical characteristics. In particular, when performing endotracheal intubation, it was related to the angle of the arm and the execution time of the performer, and the narrower the angle of the arm, the shorter the execution time. The results of this study suggest that successful endotracheal intubation could be implemented if the operator tried to reduce the angle of the arm when performing endotracheal intubation, and through further research on various job groups, identify the possibility of clinical use will be necessary.
