The Emergency Endotracheal intubation of a patient who is COVID-19 positive is a high-risk procedure and an additional challenge to an intensivist due to barrier enclosures that have been developed to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission to healthcare providers during intubation. Although the incidence of difficult airways is commonly higher in critically ill patients, the evidence of severe hypoxemia without sign of respiratory distress could complicate the scenario.This silent hypoxia often leads to a delayed recognition of the severity of respiratory failure and to a late intubation which is often characterized by a high risk of complications related to the actual airways' management, hemodynamic and cardiac. It has been shown that non-survivors had worse blood gas analyzes than survivors, both before and after intubation. Few studies have reported the implications and adverse events of performing endotracheal intubation for critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs).

Critically ill patient above 18 year old, admitted in the Intensive Care
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Severe COVID 19 pneumonia undergoing endotracheal intubation
Procedure: Endotracheal intubation
Airways management in COVID 19 patients pneumonia
Major adverse peri-intubation events
The incidence of major adverse peri-intubation events defined as least one events: * cardiovascular instability * severe Hypoxemia * cardiac arrest
Time frame: intubation procedure, an expected average 30 minutes
Number of minor complications in the intubation process in patients admitted in the intensive care
This study will analyze the prevalence of minor complications related to intubation technique in the the Critical Unit. This information will be useful in order to determinate the risk factors associated.
Time frame: 28 days
Correlation between videolaryngoscope use and incidence of complication compared to the conventional laryngoscopy
Although the video laryngoscope is useful to perform difficult airways management, the benefits associated to its employment is still controversial compared to the conventional laringoscope.
Time frame: 28 days
Plan to share: No
