Whether video laryngoscopy as compared with direct laryngoscopy increases the likelihood of successful tracheal intubation on the first attempt among critically ill adults is uncertain. In a ...

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 ...

Intubation during critical care transport is associated with a high incidence of hemodynamic collapse, including life-threatening situations. The pre-intubation shock index predicts risk. Researchers ...

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 ...
