About this study

Official title: PhEAR-Prehospital Emergency Airway Research.

The creation of an airway registry will allow an improvement in the quality of care, the safety of critically ill patients in pre-hospital situations, and a reduction in morbidity and mortality related to airway management.

Read the detailed description

In the care of critically ill patients in prehospital emergency settings, advanced airway management (AAM) is essential to maintain airway patency and ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation. In Andalusia, prehospital emergency teams are composed of a physician, a nurse, and an emergency medical technician (EMT), and they operate both ground units (advanced life support ambulances) and air units (medical helicopters).

AAM encompasses a wide range of processes, techniques, and complex decision-making interventions that can be key to favorable patient outcomes. However, if not performed correctly, these procedures can also lead to adverse events, poor prognosis, or preventable mortality.

The increasing complexity and technological sophistication of healthcare require health systems to improve and adapt in order to deliver safe, high-quality care, where continuity and an integrated vision of care are essential.

This comprehensive approach is made possible through the analysis of incidents recorded in registries, which play a key role in identifying failures in clinical practice and implementing new strategies to address them.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Calculate First-pass intubation success rate

    Intubations performed on the first attempt divided by the total number of intubations

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Development and validation of an artificial intelligence-based predictive algorithm for prehospital difficult airway

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Identify early and late complications in patients undergoing prehospital advanced airway management

    early complications (during out-of-hospital assistance), late complications (within the first 28 days after hospital admission)

    Measured: from admission until day 28 of hospitalization

  3. calculate 28-day mortality

    Number of patients with mortality within the first 28 days of hospital admission

    Measured: from admission until day 28 of hospitalization

  4. hospital length of stay

    number of days of hospitalization

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Airway Management and Emergency, run by Centro de Emergencias Sanitarias 061 Andalucía at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Calculate First-pass intubation success rate (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Dec 2025.
