Making endotracheal intubation safe in intensive care units: Impact of a bundle on the complications related to endotracheal intubation: A quasi-experimental before-after study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Endotracheal intubation (ETI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) carries significant risks. Peri-intubation care bundles have been shown to reduce severe complications associated with ETI, but they are not routinely implemented due to equipment, drug shortages, and changes in local policies. Therefore, we developed an intubation bundle and assessed its impact on complications. Methods: This study was carried out over 18 months with adult patients requiring ETI in the ICU. The intubation practices and complication rates were evaluated during the pre-implementation phase (Phase I). The ETI bundle was developed based on an analysis of these complications and existing guidelines, and the ICU team was trained on its application. Afterwards, complications during ETI were documented in the post-implementation phase to evaluate the impact of the intubation bundle (Phase II). Results: The number of patients with major complications decreased significantly after the introduction of the bundle (45% vs 29%, Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that implementing an intubation bundle in ICU settings makes ETI practices safer by decreasing the incidence of life-threatening complications.
