Post-extubation airway complications represent a significant concern in critical care, with patients frequently facing risks such as laryngeal oedema, stridor and subsequent respiratory failure ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
