Emergency airway management

6 trials
  • 2024PREOXIPreoxygenationIn 1,301 critically ill adults, NIV preoxygenation halved hypoxaemia during intubation versus oxygen face-mask.
  • 2023DEVICEVideo laryngoscopyIn 1,417 critically ill adults in EDs and ICUs, video laryngoscopy improved first-pass intubation success versus direct laryngoscopy.
  • 2021BOUGIEBougieIn 1,102 critically ill adults, a bougie did not improve first-pass intubation success compared with endotracheal tube with stylet.
  • 2019PreVentBag-mask ventilationIn 401 critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation, bag-mask ventilation between induction and laryngoscopy reduced severe hypoxaemia versus no ventilation.
  • 2018AIRWAYS-2Supraglottic vs ETIIn 9,296 adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, an i-gel supraglottic airway did not change favourable neurologic outcome at discharge versus endotracheal intubation.
  • 2018BEAMIn757 adults undergoing emergency orotracheal intubation, abougieimprovedfirst-attempt intubation successcompared with anendotracheal tube plus stylet.
