Use of video rather than direct laryngoscope led to better rates of successful tracheal intubation on the first attempt for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) or emergency ...

Among critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation, hypoxemia increases the risk of cardiac arrest and death. The effect of preoxygenation with noninvasive ventilation, as compared with ...

Compared with preoxygenation with an oxygen mask, preoxygenation with noninvasive ventilation led to a lower incidence of hypoxemia during emergency intubation among critically ill adults undergoing ...

Across awake tracheal intubations using videolaryngoscopy for suspected difficult airways, the overall success rate was high. Overall or first-attempt success rates did not differ between ...

To minimize the exposure of health care workers to SARS-CoV-2, the number of staff present during endotracheal intubation should be limited. Four operators, whose roles are predefined, should be ...

Endotracheal intubation (EI) is often an emergency procedure that’s performed on people who are unconscious or who can’t breathe on their own. EI maintains an open airway and helps prevent suffocation ...
