PREOXI Trial Special Report - ERCast June 2024

Additionally, we already have trials showing the risk for aspiration is low in NIPPV patients which is why NIPPV on restrained patients was changed from an absolute to a relative contraindication.

Does anyone have a copy of this article (pdf) they can share with me? Thanks!

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like this is one of those studies that falls into the category of common sense and just proves the ignorance of the medical field. We have somehow attached ourselves to this notion of “it there’s no study to back it, then it must not be good!” I don’t need a study to tell me that an ultrasound Doppler is more sensitive and specific for monitoring the femoral pulse during a code when compared to manual palpation, but they studied it. I also don’t need a study that tells me NIPPV prior to intubation is superior. This feels like common sense.

Thank you! I thought I was the only one thinking this. We’ve been doing this prehospital setting for years, if there’s no bipap we have bvm O2 with peep set 5-10 at least 3min prior to intubation. But it takes a study to confirm even the common sense practices
