Incidence and predisposing factors associated with peri-intubation cardiac arrest: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Various studies have delved into its incidence and risk factors, but a comprehensive meta-analysis exploring this life-threatening complication during emergent endotracheal intubation has been lacking.
