High-flow nasal cannula for pre- and apneic oxygenation during rapid sequence induction intubation in emergency surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rapid sequence induction intubation (RSII) is commonly used in emergency surgeries for patients at high risk of aspiration. However, these patients are more susceptible to hypoxemia during the RSII process. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy has emerged as a potential alternative to traditional face mask (FM) ventilation pre- and apneic oxygenation. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of HFNC compared to FM during RSII in emergency surgeries.

Methods

We conducted a comprehensive literature search across PubMed-MEDLINE, EMBASE-OVID, Scopus, and Web of Science databases up to July 20, 2024. Randomized controlled trials comparing HFNC with FM during RSII for emergency surgery patients were included. The primary outcomes were post-intubation a
