Use, timing and factors associated with tracheal intubation in septic shock: a prospective multicentric observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

No recommendation exists about the timing and setting for tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation in septic shock.

Patients and methods

This prospective multicenter observational study was conducted in 30 ICUs in France and Spain. All consecutive patients presenting with septic shock were eligible. The use of tracheal intubation was described across the participating ICUs. A multivariate analysis was performed to identify parameters associated with early intubation (before H8 following vasopressor onset).

Results

Eight hundred and fifty-nine patients were enrolled. Two hundred and nine patients were intubated early (24%, range 4.5-47%), across the 18 centers with at least 20 patients included. The cumulative intubation rate during the ICU stay was 32
