The question of whether prehospital emergency anaesthesia and intubation improves survival in patients with major trauma has ...

In current clinical care, most critically ill adults undergoing emergency tracheal intubation receive preoxygenation through an oxygen mask. Administering supplemental oxygen to patients prior to the ...

Anesthesiologists can use an alternative anesthetic technique involving a gum elastic bougie device when conventional nasal intubation methods do not work, according to an article published in the ...

When techniques that paramedics could improve upon are discussed, often, the topic of advanced airway comes up. We have statistically low success rates in achieving an advanced airway with an ...

In a US study of patients without cardiac arrest who required prehospital intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), involving the use of a sedative and paralytic, was associated with increased odds ...

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 ...

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 modelling study led by ...
