These guidelines describe a comprehensive strategy to optimize oxygenation, airway
management, and tracheal intubation in critically ill patients, in all hospital locations. They …

Airway management complications causing temporary patient harm are common, but
serious injury is rare. Because most airways are easy, most complications occur in easy …

Importance Tracheal intubation is one of the most commonly performed and high-risk
interventions in critically ill patients. Limited information is available on adverse peri …

Purpose Etomidate and ketamine are hemodynamically stable induction agents often used
to sedate critically ill patients during emergency endotracheal intubation. In 2015, quality …

Background Non-invasive ventilation has never been compared with high-flow oxygen to
determine whether it reduces the risk of severe hypoxaemia during intubation. We aimed to …

Patients requiring emergency airway management are at great risk of hypoxemic hypoxia
because of primary lung pathology, high metabolic demands, anemia, insufficient respiratory …

Abstract Background The Fourth National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists
and Difficult Airway Society (NAP4) was designed to identify and study serious airway …

Objectives: Tracheal intubation of ICU patients is frequently associated with severe
hypoxemia. Although noninvasive ventilation reduces desaturation during intubation of …

Purpose High-flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNC) has the potential to provide apnoeic
oxygenation. We decided to assess in a proof-of-concept study whether the addition of …

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of and risk factors for cardiac arrest during
intubation in ICU, as well as the association of ICU intubation–related cardiac arrest with 28 …
