Use of hyperangulated video laryngoscopy reduced the number of attempts needed to achieve endotracheal intubation compared with direct laryngoscopy among adults undergoing elective or emergent ...

High-intensity noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) might have reduced need for endotracheal intubation for persistent hypercapnia during acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive ...
