Presented at #CCR24: In a randomized trial involving critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation, the incidence of hypoxemia was lower with preoxygenation with noninvasive ventilation than with an oxygen mask. Full PREOXI trial results: nej.md/45lC0xt

If you intubate you need to read the #PREOXI trial! -n=1301 people requiring intubation in ED/ ICU were randomized to preoxygenation with oxygen mask vs non-invasive ventilation (NIV) -NIV HALVED the risk of hypoxemia: 9 vs 18% -NIV reduced mortality: 0.2% vs 1.1% #CCR24 🧵 1/
