Evaluation of Predictive Indicators for Post-Intubation Hypotension

Post-intubation hypotension is one of the causes of hemodynamic disorders after tracheal intubation, especially for emergency intubation in the emergency department or intensive care unit, due to the characteristics of these patients with serious conditions and time constraints. Therefore, early and rapid prediction of the risk of post-tracheal intubation hypotension and emphasis on early interventional measures are crucial. Therefore, it is crucial to predict the possibility of hemodynamic instability after emergency tracheal intubation in critically ill patients. According to existing studies, the risk factors for post-intubation hypotension include various factors such as the patient’s physiological parameters, drug induction before intubation, and variability in the skills of the healthcare team; however, due to the individual bias effect of some of these indicators and the difficulty of real-time detection, they cannot provide practical value to the clinic. In response to these existing problems, some studies have reported that ultrasonic measurements, a non-invasive, convenient, and dynamically evaluable parameter in real-time, can predict hypotension after tracheal intubation, providing evidence for clinical intervention to improve the prognosis of critical illness.
