Pharyngeal oxygen administration increases the time to serious desaturation at intubation in acute lung injury: an experimental study

INTRODUCTION: Endotracheal intubation in critically ill patients is associated with severe life-threatening complications in about 20%, mainly due to hypoxemia. We hypothesized that apneic oxygenation via a pharyngeal catheter during the endotracheal intubation procedure would prevent or increase th...
