Tracheal intubation is indicated in a variety of situations when illness or a medical procedure prevents your oved one from maintaining a clear airway, breathing, and oxygenating the blood. In these circumstances, oxygen supplementation using a simple face mask, Non- Invasive Ventilation(NIV) or BIPAP is inadequate. This scenario may occur for ...

2015年12月1日 · Endotracheal intubation in the ICU is a high-risk procedure, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Up to 40% of cases are associated with marked hypoxemia or hypotension. The ICU patient is physiologically very different from the usual patient who undergoes intubation in the operating room, and different intubation techniques should be …

2014年3月18日 · An intubation bundle should then be applied in order to reduce complications of intubation. Finally, an airway management algorithm is strongly advised in the ICU, as in the operating room. In this setting, new intubation devices, such as videolaryngoscopes, should be used after an appropriate training program.

2017年2月14日 · Background Pre-hospital basic airway interventions can be ineffective at providing adequate oxygenation and ventilation in some severely ill or injured patients, and advanced airway interventions are then required. Controversy exists regarding the level of provider required to perform successful pre-hospital intubation. A previous meta-analysis …

2015年12月1日 · Endotracheal intubation in the out-of-hospital setting. In the early years of out-of-hospital emergency medical services (EMS) systems, advanced life support personnel were not only trained in the nuances of how to avoid overzealous ventilation and properly place an endotracheal tube in very challenging circumstances, but they were also well-supervised on …

2025年1月7日 · This lack of granularity is also critical at the time of the intubation: for patients with early intubation, the exact timing is not known since ‘within the first calendar day of admission’ as a definition is vague. Furthermore, there is uncertainty regarding if the patients’ baseline characteristics were collected before or after intubation.

2021年3月25日 · Background Although several international guidelines recommend early over late intubation of patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), this issue is still controversial. We aimed to investigate the effect (if any) of timing of intubation on clinical outcomes of critically ill patients with COVID-19 by carrying out a systematic review and meta …

2019年5月16日 · Tracheal intubation may be difficult for either anatomical or physiological reasons. An anatomically difficult intubation (sometimes referred to as a “difficult airway”) involves challenges in viewing the vocal cords (difficult laryngoscopy) or passing a tube into the trachea (difficult endotracheal tube placement).

Hi,Patrik Hutzel is assisting my family and myself with our dad in Oregon. Thank you all so much for sharing your time and knowledge with us!I know my dad would not be with us and alive now if not for the expertise of Patrik Hutzel and the Intensive Care Hotline.Again, we are also very grateful to have been fortunate enough to have him take a look at his case and advocate for …

2018年10月6日 · Methods used to facilitate intubation include videolaryngoscopes and bougies [2, 3], and bougie use improves first-attempt intubation success compared with stylet use . Although videolaryngoscopy often improves vocal cord visualization, intubation success does not seem to improve when adding videolaryngoscopy to bougie use.
