During the trial, critically-ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation were randomly assigned to two groups: preoxygenation using noninvasive ventilation or preoxygenation using an oxygen mask.

The following is a summary of “Selective Use of Positive-Pressure Ventilation for Preoxygenation During Air Medical Rapid ...

NPPV can improve alveolar recruitment and ventilation and decrease work of breathing and respiratory muscle fatigue. NPPV has the potential for reducing intubation and thus avoiding associated ...

This exposes the patient to complications which arise during the intubation or tracheostomy procedure, during the course of ventilation, or after removing the tube (Table I). [3] Non-invasive ...

High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is noninferior to noninvasive ventilation (NIV) for endotracheal intubation or death within seven days for most patients with acute respiratory failure, according to ...

Without a patent airway, a patient has about four minutes to live, so doctors and paramedics put a huge amount of effort into honing their intubation skills. They have to be able to insert an ...
