Risk factors of peri-intubation cardiovascular collapse in critically ill patients

Abstract

Aim: Peri-intubation cardiovascular collapse is a common side effect of tracheal intubation and is associated with increased mortality in critically ill patients. We aimed to determine the potential risk factors associated with peri-intubation cardiovascular collapse. Methods: This is a prospective observational study of patients who were critically ill and undergoing tracheal intubation from August 1, 2022 to February 28, 2023. The primary outcome was peri-intubation cardiovascular collapse. Peri-intubation cardiovascular collapse was defined as systolic blood pressure
