Dataset for airway managed by emergency physicians or anaesthesiologists in trauma patients: A retrospective cohort analysis of outcomes

This data is generated for a registry-based unmatched cohort study. We identified trauma patients requiring intubation during resuscitation in the emergency department of Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong. Then extracted relevant trauma related parameters and outcome data from the trauma registry of the hospital and patients’ health records.
The hospital trauma registry captures any patients who met trauma resuscitation team activation criteria, who were triaged as critical or emergency in the ED, who died (excluding death prior to arrival to ED) and were admitted to intensive care units (ICU)/high dependency units (HDU). Injury and outcome data were prospectively collected and entered into the registry.
