Use of hyperangulated video laryngoscopy reduced the number of attempts needed to achieve endotracheal intubation compared with direct laryngoscopy among adults undergoing elective or emergent ...

ET intubation is an aerosol generating procedure with a high risk of infection for operators. The procedure permits mechanical ventilation in patients with severe respiratory failure, such as many ...

ERCP in the supine or left lateral positions appears to be more efficient due to fewer intubations and doesn’t increase ...

As emergency medicine has emerged as a distinct medical discipline, there has been a shift in responsibility for a key task in emergency departments: managing emergency airways to help patients get ...

To compare the effectiveness of surfactant delivery via endotracheal tube (ETT) using an intubation-surfactant-rapid extubation approach with premedication) vs laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in ...
