ADVANCED AIRWAY MANAGEMENT AMONG PRIMARY CARE HEALTH
Background: Advanced airway management is a critical component of advanced life support (ALS). Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) represent an effective and safe alternative to endotracheal intubation in emergency settings, particularly in Primary Care (PC), where low exposure to critical situations favors skills decay. The objective is to analyze the baseline level of theoretical knowledge and self-perceived ability regarding SADs management among PC physicians and nurses.
Methods This quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in primary care (PC) health centers within the Castellón Health Department, Spain. The study included 92 PC healthcare professionals. Data were collected using an ad hoc digital questionnaire that had previously been validated by 14 experts, achieving an overall Scale-level Content Validity Index (S-CVI) of 0.93. Descriptive and bivariate inferential analyses were performed using Pearson's chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and the Mann-Whitney U test. Statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05.
