This consensus statement provides profession-specific guidance in relation to tracheal intubation by paramedics - a procedure that the College of Paramedics supports. Tracheal intubation by paramedics has been the subject of professional and legal debate as well as crown investigation. It is therefore timely that the College of Paramedics, through this consensus group, reviews the available evidence and expert opinion in order to prevent patient harm and promote patient safety, clinical effectiveness and professional standards. It is not the purpose of this consensus statement to remove the skill of tracheal intubation from paramedics. Neither is it intended to debate the efficacy of intubation or the effect on mortality or morbidity, as other formal research studies will answer those questions. The consensus of this group is that paramedics can perform tracheal intubation safely and effectively. However, a safe, well-governed system of continual training, education and competency must be in place to serve both patients and the paramedics delivering their care.
本共识声明提供了护理人员进行气管插管方面的专业特定指导——护理人员学院支持这一操作。护理人员进行气管插管一直是专业和法律辩论以及官方调查的主题。因此，护理人员学院通过这个共识小组及时审查现有证据和专家意见，以防止患者受到伤害，并促进患者安全、临床有效性和专业标准。本共识声明的目的不是取消护理人员进行气管插管的技能。也无意辩论插管的有效性或对死亡率或发病率的影响，因为其他正式研究将回答这些问题。该小组的共识是，护理人员可以安全有效地进行气管插管。然而，必须建立一个安全、管理完善的持续培训、教育和能力体系，以服务于患者和提供护理的护理人员。
