High-flow nasal oxygen versus face-mask ventilation for rapid sequence induction in non-elective surgical patients: a randomized controlled trial

Puntos clave

• To compare the efficacy of high-flow nasal oxygen and face-mask ventilation during rapid sequence induction in emergency surgical patients.
• Conducted a randomized controlled trial
• Included non-elective surgical patients
• Administered high-flow nasal oxygen and face-mask ventilation during induction
• High-flow nasal oxygen demonstrated comparable efficacy to face-mask ventilation during induction.
• Results indicate potential advantages of using high-flow nasal oxygen in emergency settings.
