Epinephrine is a commonly used agent for a variety of indications and clinical scenarios within the emergency department. It is commonly administered during cardiopulmonary arrest and serves as an ...

Use of hyperangulated video laryngoscopy reduced the number of attempts needed to achieve endotracheal intubation compared with direct laryngoscopy among adults undergoing elective or emergent ...

Airway management is a core emergency medicine competency. Physicians are expected to be able to intubate both adult and pediatric patients safely with a minimum of adverse events. A new study ...

One hundred pediatric residents were enrolled in a randomized, crossover, simulation study comparing VL to DL. Following a didactic session on neonatal intubation, residents intubated a standard ...

Whether video laryngoscopy as compared with direct laryngoscopy increases the likelihood of successful tracheal intubation on the first attempt among critically ill adults is uncertain. The trial was ...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Prophylactic endotracheal intubation prior to endoscopy was not beneficial for patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and was instead tied to adverse risks, researchers ...

Intubation can be lifesaving, but it does come with the potential to cause complications. A sore throat is one of the most common side effects. Intubation is when an endotracheal tube is inserted into ...

Supraglottic airway (SGA) devices used for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) were more successful at first attempt, but ...

Arytenoid dislocation is an infrequent yet significant complication following endotracheal intubation. It involves the displacement of the arytenoid cartilage from the cricoarytenoid joint, often ...

We think the barrier enclosure described in the letter by Canelli and coworkers (published online in the Journal on April 3) 1 decreases rather than increases safety, especially under emergency ...

In a US study of patients without cardiac arrest who required prehospital intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), involving the use of a sedative and paralytic, was associated with increased odds ...

As emergency responders, we are tasked with executing lifesaving maneuvers in high-stress situations. For example, every one of us has been trained to know the traditional ABC sequence of trauma ...
