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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Despite an excellent view of the glottis, technical difficulties with endotracheal tube delivery remains in GlideScope intubation. We evaluated whether a spiral-shape twisted tube can facilitate ...

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 ...

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 ...
