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 ...

New findings from University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers provide new details that may determine whether implementing a fluid bolus before tracheal intubations prevents circulatory failure.

Management of the difficult airway is one of the most relevant issues for practicing emergency physicians, intensivists, and anesthesiologists, since airway loss in an unconscious patient can lead to ...

When techniques that paramedics could improve upon are discussed, often, the topic of advanced airway comes up. We have statistically low success rates in achieving an advanced airway with an ...

Preoxygenation with a bag-valve-mask device did not reduce the risk for hypoxemia compared with preoxygenation with a face mask during emergency tracheal intubation in the emergency department (ED) or ...
