Official title
Prospective Assessment Project of AirwaY Management-related Incidents in Adult Anaesthesia Care (PAPAYA III) - A European Multicentre Cross-sectional Observational Study
Overview
The overall objective of the study is to evaluate and analyze major and minor incidents during airway management in adults under anaesthesia care at all study sites. The patient characteristics, type of airway management is recorded and if airway management-related incidents occur, they are analyzed in more detail to improve patient safety in the future.
Detailed description
It is a prospective observational cross-sectional European multi-centre study collecting health-related patient data on anaesthetic airway management over three months. This detects the incidence and nature of local airway management problems and assesses how they are solved. This will enable the investigators to identify generalisable interventions and recommendations to further improve patients' airway management to improve patient safety. During the observational period, the anaesthesia staff in charge will fill out a screening questionnaire for airway management for every patient undergoing anaesthesia care with airway management. The investigators will extract the characteristics from the local anaesthesia record system for all patients. If no event arises, there are no further requirements. If an event occurs, the anaesthesia provider will fill out an additional form asking for more details on what happened.
Primary outcome measures
- Number of airway management related incidents [Time frame: 30 days]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- The Incidences of the individual major incidents [Time frame: 30 days]
- The Incidences of the individual minor incidents [Time frame: 30 days]

- Patients older than 18 years of age
- Informed consent given or general consent in place, according to local ethics committee requirements.
Exclusion criteria
- Refusal to give consent or withdrawal of consent.
