The 4th National Audit Project (NAP4) on Major Complications of Airway Management in the UK, is the largest study of major complications of airway management ever performed.

A year-long national service evaluation, endorsed by all four Chief Medical Officers of the UK, collected data between September 2008 and August 2009. NAP4 captured detailed reports of Major Complications of Airway Management in the UK. Cases were captured from all NHS hospitals in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Cases from Anaesthesia, Intensive Care Units and Emergency Departments were included.

NAP4 also surveyed anaesthetic departments to identify the number of general anaesthetics performed in the UK and how the airway was managed during these cases.

NAP4 was funded by the Royal College of Anaesthetists and the joint project partners the Difficult Airway Society (http://www.das.org.uk).

The above is a presentation from the NAP4 Report launch held at the RCoA in London in March 2011.
