Different complications of endotracheal intubation

* significant decrease of SpO2. Defined as: desaturation of \>10% from baseline or as defined by the treating physician * significant decrease of blood pressure. Defined as: systolic pressure \<90mmHg with a drop of \>20% from baseline or as defined by the treating physician. * significant increase of blood pressure. Defined as: systolic pressure \> 160mmHg with a rise of \>20% from baseline, or as defined by the treating physician. * significant bradycardia. Defined as: heart rate \< 40/min and a drop of \> 20% from baseline, or as defined by the treating physician. * significant tachycardia. Defined as: heart rate \> 160/min and a rise of \> 20% from baseline, or as defined by the treating physician. * dental or airway trauma * oesophageal or mainstem bronchial intubation * vomiting or aspiration * laryngospasm * equipment failure * medication error * cardiac arrest * failed attempt / need for an emergency surgical airway * other
