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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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% ...

Trauma patients urgently requiring a breathing tube are more likely to survive if the tube is inserted before arriving at hospital compared to insertion afterwards, suggests a modeling study led by ...

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 ...
