A compendium of critical appraisals in Intensive Care Medicine research and related specialties
In pre-hospital trauma patients undergoing rapid sequence intubation (RSI), does fentanyl-ketamine-rocuronium induction compared to etomidate-suxamethonium induction affect intubation success or haemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy?
Continue reading »Does High-flow therapy by nasal cannula (HFNC) improve the efficiency of preoxygenation before intubation compared with a high fraction-inspired oxygen facial mask (HFFM)
Continue reading »In patients who require emergency intubation and are not tolerating pre-oxygenation, does the use of ‘delayed sequence intubation’ (DSI) improve pre-intubation oxygen saturations (SpO2)?
Continue reading »Does the application of cricoid pressure during induction of anaesthesia control the regurgitation and pulmonary aspiration of gastric or oesophageal contents?
Continue reading »In obese patients with simulated difficult laryngoscopy, does the use of nasal oxygen prolong the duration that oxygen saturations remain ≥95%?
