Here\u2019s a scarier thought: One<a href=\"http:\/\/content.healthaffairs.org\/content\/25\/2\/501.long\"> recent study<\/a> indicates that when the procedure is performed <i>outside the controlled conditions of a hospital<\/i> (i.e., by an EMT), it\u2019s done incorrectly more than 20 percent of the time, with the error rate in some selected ambulance systems as high as 40 percent. Negligent intubation is an all-too-common problem, and its cost in terms of permanent brain damage and other pain and suffering is enormous.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Intubation is a Complex Procedure<\/h2>\n<p>Intubation keeps the patient\u2019s airway open and unblocked. Intubation is an essential part of emergency medicine; great care must be exercised in order to maintain a patient\u2019s airway. Medical experts point out that performing a proper intubation is not an easy task. Great skill is required to maneuver the tube into the proper position. Where the procedure is negligently performed, there are a number of possible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stengerglass.com\/practice-areas\/personal-injury\/\">adverse outcomes<\/a>, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inadvertent oxygen desaturation<\/li>\n<li>Damage to the esophagus<\/li>\n<li>Damage to the vocal cords<\/li>\n<li>Breathing tube dislodgment<\/li>\n<li>Heart rhythm disturbances<\/li>\n<li>Stroke<\/li>\n<li>Unrecognized tube misplacement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An improperly placed breathing tube can result in pneumonia or other infection. Intubation negligence can result in brain damage and even death. In addition, adverse outcomes can come about due to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use of damaged or unsanitary intubation equipment<\/li>\n<li>Bumping or moving an intubation tube<\/li>\n<li>Failing to observe the patient sufficiently so as to notice that harm has been done<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Inadequate Training and Inexperience Are Often Factors in Intubation Problems<\/h2>\n<p>Medical officials note that while physician trainees in anesthesiology, critical care medicine, and emergency medicine spend many hours learning and practicing the difficult steps in a proper intubation (and extubation) procedure, EMTs and paramedics often have just a fraction of that training. Of course, to make matters worse, EMTs and paramedics often perform intubation procedures under difficult circumstances \u2013 at car crash scenes and other traumatic events \u2013 making their general lack of training even more problematic. Moreover, while EMS personnel generally view intubations as life-saving and common, most paramedics do not actually perform the procedure very often.<\/p>\n<p>Some experts argue that in spite of calls within the medical community to make the changes necessary to reduce intubation errors nationally, not much has been done when it comes to out-of-hospital care. Indeed, the levels of medical care provided prior to hospital admission can be woefully inadequate.<\/p>\n<h2>Strong, Capable and Caring Legal Counsel Required to Recover Malpractice Damages<\/h2>\n<p>Have you or a family member suffered injury due to an improper intubation procedure?
