What this Trial Is About
Researchers are conducting a prospective observational study across multiple European centers to evaluate and analyze major and minor incidents during airway management in adults receiving anesthesia care. The study aims to collect detailed patient data and incident reports to identify common problems and improve patient safety related to airway management during anesthesia. The study involves collecting health-related information over a three-month period. Anesthesia staff will complete a screening questionnaire for every patient undergoing airway management during anesthesia. If no incident occurs, no further data is collected. However, if an airway management-related incident happens, the provider will fill out an additional form with more details about the event. Participants will be monitored through their anesthesia records and incident questionnaires. Researchers will measure the number of airway management-related incidents within 30 days, including the incidence of major and minor incidents. This data collection will help develop recommendations for safer airway management practices. The study is expected to run until March 2027, with involvement lasting for the duration of the anesthesia care and follow-up of incidents.
