Is non-supine positioning preferable in patients requiring intubation in the emergency department?
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to determine whether non-supine positioning during intubation in the emergency department improves first-pass success rates. Their systematic review of six prospective studies, including two randomized trials, found a positive correlation between patient angulation and first-pass success in three of the studies, suggesting that inclined positioning may be beneficial for ED intubation protocols.
