When Should We Intubate in Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure?
Christopher J. Yarnell, Bhakti K. Patel
Abstract
Intubation during Hypoxemic Respiratory FailureThere is little evidence to guide the common and high-stakes decision to initiate invasive ventilation in hypoxemic respiratory failure. In this Tomorrow's Trial, Yarnell and Patel propose a randomized trial of different physiological thresholds for the initiation of invasive ventilation.
