Should We Use NIPPV for Preoxygenation for All Intubations?

  • Summary

  • Over 1 million critically ill patients are intubated each year in the US. Hypoxemia occurs in up to 20% of patients and can lead to peri-intubation cardiovascular collapse and cardiac arrest. As such, adequate and appropriate preoxygenation is critical in increasing the safe apnea time and decreasing the risk of hypoxemia. At present, the majority of patients receive preoxygenation through a non-rebreather mask. In this podcast, we discuss a recent study that evaluated the use of noninvasive ventilation for preoxygenation in critically ill patients.
