Spontaneous respiration should be allowed during endotracheal intubation until sedation allows placement of an ET tube and reduced airway pressures should be employed when possible.
22.
Endotracheal intubation is often used to save patients in cardiac or respiratory arrest by inserting a tube through the mouth, down the trachea into the lungs.
23.
Survival rates for the two methods turned out to be similar : 30 percent for children in the BVM group, and 26 percent of the endotracheal intubation group.
24.
TIF is a late complication of a tracheotomy and is associated with prolonged endotracheal intubation, as a result of cuff over inflation or a poorly positioned tracheostomy tube.
25.
In the absence of antivenom, all coral snakebite should be treated in a hospital by elective endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation until the effects of coral snake neurotoxins abate.
26.
As noted in a study by the Japanese Society for Emergency Medicine, endotracheal intubation, if performed by properly trained hands, is undoubtedly the most effective method of airway control.
27.
The strategy developed for prehospital trauma care in North America is based on the endotracheal intubation ) and the victim is transported as fast as possible to a trauma centre.
28.
They say treatment should be " directed at airway control with endotracheal intubation, ventilation using positive end expiratory pressure ( PEEP ), and hyperventilation with supplemental oxygen to control intracranial pressure ".
29.
Equipment on the paramedic engine and ambulances includes 12-lead cardiac monitor / defibrillators, end-tidal CO2 and oxygen saturation monitors, glucometers, and endotracheal intubation, resuscitation equipment and 20 different medications for treatment and resuscitation.
30.
The tube may be difficult to position, particularly in an unwell patient, and may inadvertently be inserted in the trachea, hence endotracheal intubation before the procedure is strongly advised to secure the airway.
