Etomidate and ketamine for inducing anesthesia achieved similar prespecified safety outcomes but different risk for cardiovascular collapse.

Risk of cardiovascular collapse during intubation and other safety outcomes also weren't any lower with ketamine. In fact, hypotension, receipt of vasopressors, and ventricular tachycardia during ...

In-hospital mortality by day 28 did not significantly differ based on use of ketamine or etomidate to induce anesthesia in ...

Intubation with an Airway Scope offered high success rates when tracheal intubation is required in a laterally positioned patient, according to a study published in the March 2011 issue of Anesthesia ...

A clinical risk scoring system can accurately assess a patient’s chance of undergoing unplanned tracheal intubation after surgery, according to research published in the July issue of Anesthesia & ...

Awake fibreoptic intubation (AFOI) remains a critical technique in managing difficult airways, particularly when conventional methods pose increased risks. This approach utilises a flexible fibreoptic ...

Pretty much any time a patient is placed under a general anesthetic, a plastic endotracheal tube is inserted down their throat, in order to keep their airway open. The procedure is known as intubation ...

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

No reduction seen in in-hospital death by day 28 with use of ketamine rather than etomidate to induce anesthesia in critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation ...
