Ketamine for anesthesia does not lower in-hospital death by day 28 compared with etomidate among critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation.

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 ...

The study findings may influence countries that previously removed etomidate from the market because of concerns about adrenal suppression.

Anesthesiologists should not start with the consideration of how to handle difficult intubation, but rather the other variables that affect outcome of patients presenting with impaired cardiopulmonary ...

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 ...

For tracheal intubation anesthesia in critically ill patients, ketamine didn't improve survival compared with etomidate, a pragmatic clinical trial showed. In-hospital death by day 28 occurred in 28.1 ...

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

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 ...
