Thirty-day mortality of patients with major trauma fell if they received intubation before hospital admission per prediction from a machine learning risk-stratifying model, according to data published ...

For tracheal intubation anesthesia in critically ill patients, ketamine didn't improve survival compared with etomidate, a pragmatic clinical trial showed. In-hospital death by day 28 occurred in 28.1 ...
