The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to compare the safety and efficacy of induction agents for tracheal intubation in critically ill adult patients.
Endotracheal intubation is an accepted procedure to optimize oxygenation and ventilation and reduce the risk of aspiration for critically ill patients, essential for their management and survival across various settings, including prehospital care, emergency departments (EDs), and intensive care units (ICUs). Despite advancements, peri-intubation complications and hemodynamic instability, which are associated with increased mortality rates, remain a concern. These risks are exacerbated by pathophysiological factors in critically ill patients compared to those undergoing intubation in surgical…
