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

Trauma patients urgently requiring a breathing tube are more likely to survive if the tube is inserted before arriving at ...

Drs Robert Glatter and Ken Milne discuss what the recent RSI trial reveals — and does not reveal — about choosing etomidate or ketamine for intubation in critically ill patients.

Etomidate, the most common anesthesia induction agent for emergency tracheal intubation, causes adrenal suppression and can lead to corticosteroid insufficiency. In a large trial, in-hospital death ...

Intubation is a technique doctors can use to keep your airway open by placing a tube into your trachea (windpipe) either through your mouth or nose. You may need to be intubated if your airway is ...

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 modeling study led by ...

For critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation, observational studies suggest that the use of etomidate to induce anesthesia may increase the risk of death. Whether the use of ketamine ...

High-intensity noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) might have reduced need for endotracheal intubation for persistent hypercapnia during acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive ...

Intubation can be lifesaving, but it does come with the potential to cause complications. A sore throat is one of the most common side effects. Intubation is when an endotracheal tube is inserted into ...

For tracheal intubation anesthesia in critically ill patients, ketamine didn't improve survival compared with etomidate, a pragmatic clinical trial showed. In-hospital death by day 28 occurred in 28.1 ...
