University of Warwick researchers have led the development of a new AI tool that can help doctors make the difficult and high ...

Patients with COVID-19 who require intubation and ventilation have witnessed a number of stressful events in the ICU, such as emergency resuscitation procedures and deaths.

Fewer ICU/ED patients experienced hypoxemia during intubation with receipt of preoxygenation with noninvasive ventilation vs. an oxygen mask, according to research published in the New England ...

Patients on mechanical ventilation are generally intubated—meaning they have a tube inserted through their mouth and into their airway.

Some patients may be on a ventilator for only a few hours or days, but experts say COVID-19 patients often remain on the ventilators for 10 days or more. Longer duration of intubation is often ...

During the Covid-19 crisis, the medical term “intubation” entered common parlance. Severe Covid patients, unable to breathe on their own, sometimes needed to have a tube inserted into their lungs ...

Doctors explain how intubation works and why it’s important for certain COVID-19 patients. Plus, what recovery looks like after needing oxygen support.

Compared with preoxygenation with an oxygen mask, preoxygenation with noninvasive ventilation led to a lower incidence of hypoxemia during emergency intubation among critically ill adults ...

Being intubated means you have a tube placed through your mouth or nose and down your throat. Intubation can help save your life in emergencies.

If I’m on a ventilator, am I awake? We put our patients to sleep with sedating and pain-relieving medications when we insert the breathing tube, and we continue these meds after intubation.

Concerns about safety, competing priorities and uncooperative patients were among the barriers identified by critical care nurses for not mobilizing intubated patients receiving mechanical ...

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA), a mode of mechanical ventilation controlled by diaphragmatic electrical activity (EAdi), may improve patient-ventilator interaction.
