Authors: Kevin W Gibbs et al N Engl j Med 2024 Jun 20;390(23):2165-2177 Background: 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 preoxygenation with an oxygen mask, on the incidence of hypoxemia during tracheal intubation is uncertain. Methods: In […]

Methods A systematic search (MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane Library to November 2023) retrieved English language publications […]
