Description of intervention(s) / exposure
For all patients involved in the study, the only intervention will be the use of End-tidal oxygen (ETO2) to guide preoxygenation. All aspects of rapid sequence intubation (RSI) will be at the discretion of the treating clinician including sedative/paralytic medications, positioning of the patient, preoxygenation method, intubation techniques and post-intubation sedation. Preoxygenation without the use of ETO2 is generally performed for a minimum of 3 minutes, however, with the use of ETO2 this may be performed earlier than 3 minutes if the correct ETO2 level has been reached.
Clinicians will be encouraged to aim for the highest ETO2 result possible with a goal of >85%. Clinicians will be able to view the ETO2 values and can decide on any changes to the preoxygenation techniques if deemed necessary. These techniques may include improved patient positioning, improved face mask seal, increased oxygen flow, length of preoxygenation time, or altering the preoxygenation device.
For hospitals in Sydney, the only additional equipment required for this study is the Philipsâ„¢ IntelliVue G7m Gas Analyser Module 866173. This provides a non-dispersive infrared measurement of respiratory gases and a paramagnetic measurement of oxygen. The IntelliVue G7m Gas Analyser Module is designed to work with the IntelliVue patient monitors currently used in the EDs at the Sydney sites. At Lincoln Medical Center, the gas analyser used will be a Philips G5 gas analyser connected to a Philips Intellivue MP 70. At the University of New Mexico Medical Center, the Masimo root monitor is used.
The gas analysers produce display waves for O2 and CO2, together with numerics for end-tidal values for O2 and CO2 and to our knowledge, there are no differences in values between the various devices used.
The gas sampling occurs through a side-stream sampling tube at a rate of 200ml/min ±20 ml/min, which is either obtained from a nasal cannula in the spontaneously breathing patient or a sidestream line if connected to a BVM.
Data collection and adherence to the intervention will be monitored by research staff if available
Study design
The trial will be an international, multicentre, stepped-wedge randomised control trial on the implementation of ETO2 use in EDs for patients requiring RSI. A cluster will compose an individual hospital site and each site will serve as its own control with an implementation phase conducted at each site until all sites are recruited into the study period. To account for the differences in ED presentation rates at the various sites the cluster blocks will consist of patient numbers rather than a defined period of time. However, nearly all the sites will be recruiting at a similar rate, given that each site intubates 20-30 patients per month.
The trial will have 9 steps with 25 patients per step. Giving a total of 1400 patients (please see 'power calculation' in section 6.

Comparator / control treatment
The control period includes a period whereby clinicians will not have access to ETO2 monitoring and routine RSI practices will be documented including all study variables. At all institutions, RSI is performed in a similar manner, utilising an airway checklist. There is no ‘standard operating procedure’ for RSI in any of the EDs and methods, therefore, vary depending on clinician preference and the condition of the patient, however, each site is a tertiary-level, university teaching hospital and therefore clinical practice is up to date and evidence-based. Standard preoxygenation methods in the Emergency department often consist of a bag-valve mask, with or without a PEEP valve, set at 15L/min, or the use of non-invasive ventilation or a non-rebreather mask, with or without a nasal cannula, set at 15 L/min or flush rate oxygen (>40 L/min). These methods depend on clinician preference and practice varies widely within each institution. As described in our previous studies the US sites have access to high-flow (>30L/min) oxygen. This is the only difference in the preoxygenation method, and we have found no significant difference in the mode of preoxygenation to patient desaturation rates or ETO2 levels among the different hospitals.

Statistical methods / analysis
The primary analysis will be an unadjusted, intention-to-treat comparison of patients who received ETO2 use during the study period in comparison with the group of patients not receiving ETO2 use during the control period regarding the primary outcome. The difference between the two study groups will be compared using a Generalised Linear Mixed Model to estimate the effect sizes for the binary outcomes.
Power Calculation
To power this study, we utilised the assistance of a biostatistician. Utilising the calculations based on Hemming et al. and based on the plan to recruit 9 hospital sites with 8 clusters and 9 steps each site we calculated that 1232 (17 patients per step) patients would be required to achieve a power of 80% with a significance of 0.05 to detect an absolute difference of 10% in the rate of desaturation. Factoring in a missing data rate of approx. 14-15% this gives a total of 1400 patients required (22 patients per step). The intracluster correlation (ICC) was calculated at 0.01 given that we believe that the ICC is likely to be small based on our previous studies.(12) The proportion of patients in the control arm meeting the primary outcome (desaturation <93%) was calculated at 20%. This is based on current audit data from the Australia and New Zealand ED airway registry (ANZEDAR) demonstrating a desaturation rate of 20% for patients undergoing RSI with respiratory pathology.
The proportion of patients in the intervention arm meeting the primary outcome was calculated at 10%, i.e. an absolute difference of 10% in desaturation rates between the control and intervention arms of the study. This was based on our previous study(9) demonstrating a desaturation rate of 10% in the intervention group and also based on a clinically meaningful difference of 10% between the two groups.

Summary
Brief summary
Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) is a high-risk procedure in the emergency department (ED). Patients are routinely preoxygenated (given supplemental oxygen) prior to RSI to prevent hypoxia during intubation. For many years anaesthetists have used end-tidal oxygen (ETO2) levels to guide the effectiveness of preoxygenation prior to intubation. The ETO2 gives an objective measurement of preoxygenation efficacy, this is not currently available in most EDs. This trial evaluates the use of ETO2 on the rate of hypoxia during intubation for patients in the ED.
