Nasal Cannula Apneic Oxygenation Prevents Desaturation During Endotracheal Intubation: An Integrative Literature Review.

24 Similarly, Pavlov et al., 2017 found that apneic oxygenation reduced the relative risk of hypoxemia, along with a significant trend toward lower mortality. 25 From previous reviews of this intervention, we agree with their findings that there is strong evidence for the use of apneic oxygenation during intubation (excluding certain patient populations). 24 , 25 , 26 There have been relatively few studies of apneic oxygenation in the emergency department (ED); thus, more investigation is warranted, particularly between apneic oxygenation prior to intubation in respiratory and non-respiratory causes.
