A postal survey was conducted in order to investigate current practice in airway management amongst Dutch anaesthetists and to investigate the role of recent training and the role of an 'Access to the Airway' airway management course.
A questionnaire containing 27 questions was sent to all practising anaesthetists in The Netherlands. Questionnaires were returned anonymously and were analysed using the Pearson chi(2)-test (P < 0.05) with the SPSSR version 8.0 statistical software program.
The response rate was 42%. Of the respondents, 78% claim often or always to assess the expected degree of difficulty in tracheal intubation as part of routine preoperative assessment. The American Society of Anesthesiologist's Difficult Airway Algorithm was used by 19% of respondents. A wide variety of airway management techniques is being used. In 36% of all general anaesthetics a laryngeal mask airway is used. In 1.1% of all general anaesthetics tracheal intubation is performed with the flexible fibrescope.
Dutch anaesthetists, who commenced anaesthetic training after 1988, and those who attended the airway management course 'Access to the Airway' are significantly more likely to follow the American Society of Anesthesiologist's Difficult Airway Algorithm and to use adjunctive techniques for airway management.
开展了一项邮政调查，以探究荷兰麻醉医生目前在气道管理方面的做法，并调查近期培训的作用以及“气道通路”气道管理课程的作用。
向荷兰所有执业麻醉医生发送了一份包含27个问题的问卷。问卷匿名返回，并使用SPSSR 8.0版统计软件程序通过Pearson卡方检验（P<0.05）进行分析。
回复率为42%。在受访者中，78%称在常规术前评估中经常或总是评估气管插管的预期困难程度。19%的受访者使用美国麻醉医师协会的困难气道处理流程。正在使用各种各样的气道管理技术。在所有全身麻醉中，36%使用喉罩气道。在所有全身麻醉中，1.1%使用纤维软镜进行气管插管。
1988年后开始接受麻醉培训的荷兰麻醉医生以及参加了“气道通路”气道管理课程的麻醉医生，更有可能遵循美国麻醉医师协会的困难气道处理流程并使用气道管理辅助技术。
