Awake tracheal intubation using videolaryngoscopy is safe and effective in patients with suspected difficult airways, with a high success rate and a low number of serious complications.

The practice of airway management and tracheal intubation remains a cornerstone of emergency and critical care medicine. Advances in technology and protocol development have substantially improved ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Novices have greater success with tracheal intubation using an optical laryngoscope compared with a rigid laryngoscope, according to a study published in the Feb. 2011 issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia.
