The Importance of Circulation in Airway Management: Preventing Postintubation Hypotension in the Trauma Bay
Authors' conclusion
More than half of the patients requiring ETI in the trauma bay developed PIH.
Study context
- Population
- Adult (≥18) trauma patients requiring endotracheal intubation (ETI) in the trauma bay, level I trauma center, 2019–2022
- Participants
- 708 participants
- Exposure
- Postintubation hypotension (PIH) vs no PIH
- PIHn = 435
- Outcome
- Postintubation hypotension (PIH) and its modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors
