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 ...

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 ...

A Vanderbilt University Medical Center-led study comparing the two types of laryngoscopes used in tracheal intubation of critically ill patients showed that the use of a video laryngoscope increased ...

Postintubation tracheal stenosis is a complication of endotracheal intubation. The pathological mechanism and risk factors for endotracheal intubation-induced tracheal stenosis remain not fully ...

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, ...

Preoxygenation with a bag-valve-mask device did not reduce the risk for hypoxemia compared with preoxygenation with a face mask during emergency tracheal intubation in the emergency department (ED) or ...

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, ...

Pretty much any time a patient is placed under a general anesthetic, a plastic endotracheal tube is inserted down their throat, in order to keep their airway open. The procedure is known as intubation ...

The probability for successful first-attempt intubation was greater among adults who received high- vs. standard-dose ...
