Objective It is unclear if prehospital intubation improves survival in patients with traumatic
brain injury. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the impact of …

Purpose The objective of this systematic review was to examine current evidence on the
risks versus benefit of pre-hospital intubation when compared with in-hospital intubation in …

Objective Patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are commonly intubated during
prehospital treatment despite a lack of evidence that this is beneficial. Accumulating …

Background Patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are at high risk for airway
obstruction and hypoxia at the accident scene, and routine prehospital endotracheal …

Background Prehospital intubation in traumatic brain injury (TBI) focuses on limiting the
effects of secondary insults such as hypoxia, but no indisputable evidence has been …

Objectives. To study the effect of prehospital intubation (PHI) on survival of patients with
isolated severe traumatic brain injury (ISTBI). Method. Retrospective analyses of all …

BACKGROUND: Early endotracheal intubation in patients sustaining moderate to severe
traumatic brain injury (TBI) is considered the standard of care. Yet the benefit of pre-hospital …

Objective This study aimed to assess the impact of establishing a pre-hospital definitive
airway on mortality and morbidity compared with no prehospital airway in cases of severe …

Available evidence is inconclusive regarding the role for early intubation following acute
brain injury. Suboptimal performance of intubation and subsequent ventilation may offset …

Background: Although early intubation to prevent the mortality that accompanies hypoxia is
considered the standard of care for severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), the efficacy of this …
