From JEMS:
In this prospective study, the researchers attempt to determine a correlation between hospital mortality and prehospital intubation, and any other risk factors associated with it. Data was collected on trauma patients who were treated at Ryder Trauma Center in Miami from August 2003 to June 2006 — a total of 1,320 emergency airway interventions were performed by an anesthesiologist. Of these, 203 had initially been intubated in the field by EMS personnel.
