Re: Intubation Requirements

["Wendy Lord" <Wlord@harthosp.org>]

Our program requires four intubations a quarter.  If they are not
obtained in the field or ED we report to the OR.  If the number exceeds
four they do not carry over.  Hope this is helpful.

Our program currently requires each team member to have one successful
intubation every quarter.  If an intubation is not completed for that
quarter the team member must report to the OR to complete one
intubation.

I am looking for information on how different flight programs maintain
intubation skills.  How many intubations are required each quarter,
month, or year at your program?  Do you allow intubations to be carried
over to the following quarter, month, or year?  If an intubation is not
completed how are intubation skills maintained (manikin, OR, etc)?  Does
your program require additional intubations for team members who perform
pediatric/neonatal transports?  Any information would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
