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 ...

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 ...

Computerized analysis of facial structure can classify patients for whom intubation might be difficult, according to a study published in Anesthesia & Analgesia. The study, titled “Accurate ...

Around 1 in 10 surgery patients studied by researchers were still partly conscious during their procedure despite having been given general anesthesia, a study has suggested. The study involved 338 ...

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 ...
