  1. Data presented as n (percentage). Data for hypoxia post-intubation, hypotension post-intubation, hypoxia at handover and hypotension at handover were available for 3298 (73%), 3312 (74%), 4120 (92%) and 4154 (92%) patients, respectively. Survival to hospital was recorded for 4396 (98%) patients. FPS, intubation first-pass success
