Awake fibreoptic intubation (AFOI) remains a critical technique in managing difficult airways, particularly when conventional methods pose increased risks. This approach utilises a flexible fibreoptic ...

Across awake tracheal intubations using videolaryngoscopy for suspected difficult airways, the overall success rate was high. Overall or first-attempt success rates did not differ between ...

In nonintubated patients with COVID-related hypoxemic respiratory failure, daily awake prone positioning (APP) for 6 hours showed a more than 90% probability of reducing intubation and/or death ...

Data showed that survival without intubation was improved with APP, compared to supine positioning. The risk of intubation and hospital mortality were also reduced with APP. Additionally, the time ...
