Management of the difficult airway is one of the most relevant issues for practicing emergency physicians, intensivists, and anesthesiologists, since airway loss in an unconscious patient can lead to ...

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 ...

Across awake tracheal intubations using videolaryngoscopy for suspected difficult airways, the overall success rate was high. Overall or first-attempt success rates did not differ between ...

We hypothesized that videolaryngoscope use for tracheal intubations would differ across NICUs, be associated with higher first attempt success and lower adverse events. The aim of this study is to ...

Use of video rather than direct laryngoscope led to better rates of successful tracheal intubation on the first attempt for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) or emergency ...

In critically ill patients, video laryngoscopy offers superior glottic visualization, reduces the incidence of esophageal intubation, and improves the first-attempt success rate of emergency tracheal ...

Now a days tracheostomy is done only in those cases in which intubation by a mouth or nasal tube is not a feasible option. There are broadly four groups of patients on whom tracheostomy needs to be ...

In infants undergoing neonatal tracheal intubation, does premedication categorized as (1) neuromuscular blockade with sedation, (2) sedation only, or (3) no premedication reduce the risk of adverse ...

Maintaining an open airway is a critical priority in emergency medicine. Without the flow of oxygen, other emergency interventions can become ineffective at saving the patient's life. However, ...
