A chart review tool (see online supplementary appendix) was adapted from landmark patient safety studies and revised after pilot testing. Expert panels of physicians and paramedics performed blinded reviews of each chart, identified safety events and described their nature. The primary outcomes were presence and severity of patient safety events related to airway management including oxygen administration, bag-valve-mask ventilation (BVM), airway adjuncts and endotracheal intubation (ETI).<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:supplementary-material id=\"SM1\" position=\"float\" orientation=\"portrait\">\n                      <jats:label>supplementary appendix<\/jats:label>\n                      <jats:p>\n                        <jats:inline-supplementary-material xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" id=\"ss1\" mimetype=\"application\" mime-subtype=\"pdf\" xlink:href=\"bmjopen-2016-012259supp_appendix.pdf\"\/>\n                      <\/jats:p>\n                    <\/jats:supplementary-material>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From the 11\u2005328 paediatric transports during the study period, there were 497 \u2018lights and sirens\u2019 (code 3) transports (4.4%). 7 transports were excluded due to missing data. Of the 490 transports included in the analysis, 329 had a total of 338 airway management procedures (some had more than 1 procedure): 61.6% were treated with oxygen, 15.3% with BVM, 8.6% with ETI and 2% with airway adjuncts. The frequency of errors was: 21% (71\/338) related to oxygen use, 9.8% (33\/338) related to BVM, 9.5% (32\/338) related to intubation and 0.9% (3\/338) related to airway adjunct use. 58% of intubations required 3 or more attempts or failed altogether.
