Using High-flow Nasal Oxygen during Intubation in Critically Ill Patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of High Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) using the Optiflow Switch during tracheal intubation in critically ill patients. It compares traditional preoxygenation methods with the addition of HFNO to determine if it reduces the risk of hypoxaemia and other adverse events during intubation. The study will involve a before-and-after design, including a minimum of 50 patients over a period of 6-12 months. Patient characteristics and vital parameters will be monitored before, during, and after the intubation process.
