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 ...

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

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

Ketamine and etomidate were compared in the ED and ICU as the primary sedative during emergency tracheal intubation.

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 ...

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 ...

An alternative anesthetic technique can be employed when conventional nasal intubation methods do not work in patients undergoing dental procedures or oral surgery. The method involves a gum elastic ...

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 ...
