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

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 ...

Background and Aim: The technical performance of colonoscopy performed in deeply sedated patients differs from that performed without sedation or under minimal to moderate sedation. The aim of this ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
