JAMA; 328(3):270-279. doi:10.1001/jama.2022.9792 Clinical Question In critically ill adult patients undergoing tracheal intubation and positive pressure ventilation, does intravenous infusion of a 500ml fluid bolus vs no fluid bolus, decrease the incidence of cardiovascular collapse during, or shortly after the procedure? Background Tracheal intubation […]
