ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION

This study looked at whether a specific non-invasive treatment could help hospitalized COVID-19 patients with severe breathing problems avoid needing a ventilator. The treatment combined high-flow oxygen delivered through the nose with patients lying on their stomachs while awake…

This study aimed to find out which size of a curved metal blade (size 3 or 4) helps doctors most successfully insert a breathing tube on the first try during surgery. Researchers observed over 3,000 adult patients in French operating rooms to see which blade led to fewer complica…

This study compared two devices used to place a breathing tube in patients during planned surgery. Researchers wanted to see if a newer video-guided device helped beginners place the tube faster and more successfully than the traditional method. The study involved 70 adult patien…

This study observed patients during abdominal surgery to understand the connection between brain wave patterns and the body's release of stress hormones. Researchers measured brain activity and hormone levels at specific moments, like when the breathing tube was placed and when t…

This study looked at how different levels of muscle relaxation affect the ease of placing a breathing tube during surgery. Researchers observed 170 patients undergoing elective surgery to determine the optimal timing for this procedure. The goal was to help doctors understand whe…

This study tested which combination of tools helps medical students with no real-world experience perform intubation better on a training manikin. Researchers compared four different techniques using either a bougie or a stylet with two types of scopes. The main goal was to see w…
