Abstract published with permission. A short cut review was carried out to establish what education and training are required for paramedics to gain initial competence in the skill of endotracheal intubation. Nineteen studies were identified with relevance to the question. The author, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results and study weaknesses of these papers are tabulated. It is difficult to isolate intubation from the wider subject of airway management and the range of skills and techniques necessary to safely secure the airway in the prehospital setting. The evidence presented suggests that at least 25–35 intubations are necessary, as part of a wider programme of training, to gain initial competence in this skill.ae974a485f413a2113503eed53cd6c53
