Mechanical ventilation is the most used short-term life support technique worldwide and is
applied daily for a diverse spectrum of indications, from scheduled surgical procedures to …

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

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 …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome‐corona virus‐2, which causes coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID‐19), is highly contagious. Airway management of patients with COVID‐19 is high …

Rationale: Cardiovascular instability/collapse is a common peri-intubation event in patients

Importance Recognizing patients in whom endotracheal intubation is likely to be difficult can
help alert physicians to the need for assistance from a clinician with airway training and …

Oxygen therapy can be delivered using low-flow, intermediate-flow (air entrainment mask),
or high-flow devices. Low/intermediate-flow oxygen devices have several drawbacks that …

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 …

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 …
