Recent research suggests three post-intubation practices can decrease rates of ventilator-associated pneumonia, according to a study published in the Journal of Nursing Care Quality. The researchers ...

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 ...

Thirty-day mortality of patients with major trauma fell if they received intubation before hospital admission per prediction from a machine learning risk-stratifying model, according to data published ...

Intubation during critical care transport is associated with a high incidence of hemodynamic collapse, including life-threatening situations. The pre-intubation shock index predicts risk. Researchers ...

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 ...

An analysis of 7.6 million trauma cases over 7 years showed that 3.7% of patients underwent emergency department (ED) endotracheal intubation (ETI), which was associated with a mortality rate of 10.2% ...

Repeated attempts at endotracheal intubation are associated with increased adverse events in neonates. When clinicians view the airway directly with a laryngoscope, fewer than half of first attempts ...
