Compliance with intubation bundle and complications in critically ill patients: A need to revisit the bundle components

Tracheal intubation in the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with serious complications. Adherence to the intubation bundle may reduce these complications. We aimed to determine complication rates and whether bundle compliance affected complications. We analysed complications of intubation in...

Summary:Tracheal intubation in the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with serious complications. Adherence to the intubation bundle may reduce these complications. We aimed to determine complication rates and whether bundle compliance affected complications. We analysed complications of intubation in our ICU. The intubation bundle, with ten elements, is divided into pre-intubation, intubation, and post-intubation. We recorded the complications and classified them as major and minor. Bundle compliance was defined as either full or partial. Chi-square test, Fisher exact test, and student t-test were used and p
