Bag-Mask Ventilation during Tracheal Intubation of Critically Ill Adults

Hypoxemia during tracheal intubation may increase the risk of cardiac arrest and death. In this multicenter trial, adults undergoing tracheal intubation were randomly assigned to receive bag-mask ventilation during the interval between induction and laryngoscopy or no ventilation. Bag-mask ventilati...

Summary:Hypoxemia during tracheal intubation may increase the risk of cardiac arrest and death. In this multicenter trial, adults undergoing tracheal intubation were randomly assigned to receive bag-mask ventilation during the interval between induction and laryngoscopy or no ventilation. Bag-mask ventilation increased oxygen saturation as compared with no ventilation.
