Intubation in the ICU: we could improve our practice

Authors: Audrey De Jong, Boris Jung, Samir Jaber

Published in: Critical Care | Issue 2/2014

Excerpt

Airway management is a commonly performed proce¬dure in the intensive care unit (ICU). Hypoxemia and cardiovascular collapse represent the initial and most serious life-threatening complications associated with difficult airway access, both in emergency intubation in the critically ill [1‐4] and in planned intubations (e. g., scheduled surgery or invasive procedures) [5]. To prevent and limit the incidence of life-threatening complications following intubation, several pre-oxygenation techniques and intubation algorithms have been entertained. …
