Infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and especially those born with very low birth weight (VLBW; <1,500 g), are at risk for respiratory decompensation requiring endotracheal ...

The study was a controlled, randomized, and blinded trial comparing brief intubation for surfactant administration followed by institution of NCPAP with NCPAP alone. It was conducted in the neonatal ...

University of Warwick researchers have led the development of a new AI tool that can help doctors make the difficult and high-stakes decision of whether to intubate a patient in acute respiratory ...

A large multicenter, randomized clinical trial revealed no difference in the risk of endotracheal intubation requirement at 30 days between awake prone positioning and standard positioning for ...

Three main methods of noninvasive support are used in the acute care setting: a high flow of gas delivered through a large-bore nonocclusive nasal cannula (i.e., high-flow nasal cannula), continuous ...

We've seen how breathing machines are the last hope for patients nearing death in movies. But how do these machines actually keep a person alive? Matthew Bogard, MD (N/A:N/A) Mechanical ventilation is ...

High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is noninferior to noninvasive ventilation (NIV) for endotracheal intubation or death within seven days for most patients with acute respiratory failure, according to a ...

A large multicenter, randomized clinical trial revealed no difference in the risk of endotracheal intubation requirement at 30 days between awake prone positioning and standard positioning for ...

Editor's note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape's Coronavirus Resource Center. Prone positioning significantly reduced the need for intubation among nonintubated adults with ...

New research led by Devang K. Sanghavi of the Mayo Clinic in Florida, USA, suggests pre-intubation use of nitric oxide for patients with COVID-19–related hypoxemic respiratory may help reduce patients ...

In a large randomized trial, treating patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure with high-flow oxygen didn't improve survival compared with standard oxygen. However, high-flow oxygen did ...
