Awake Tracheal Intubation in Critical Care Patients

Plain-language summary

Tracheal intubation in critical care is a high-risk procedure requiring significant expertise and airway strategy modifications, such as awake intubation with video laryngoscope or flexible endoscope intubation. Furthermore, delayed sequence intubation can be used by experts in certain high-risk subgroups. The investigators hypothesise that awake tracheal intubation is associated with a lower incidence of severe adverse events than standard tracheal intubation in critical care patients.
