Peri-Intubation Push-Dose Vasopressors in Critical Care Transport.

Objective: Push-dose vasopressors are commonly administered to attenuate peri-intubation hypotension. The aim of this study was to describe the current use of push-dose vasopressors in critical care transport.

Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of adult patients (≥ 18 years) intubated between January 2017 and May 2023 who received push-dose vasopressors.

Hemodynamic Collapse After Intubation in Critical Care Transport.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of and modifiable risk factors for post intubation hemodynamic collapse in prehospital and interfacility critical care transport.

Methods: Single center retrospective chart review of adult patients (≥18 years) intubated by a critical care transport team between January 2017 and May 2023. The primary outcome was incidence of hemodynamic collapse (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg for greater than 30 min, new vasopressor requirement, vasopressor dose increase, fluid bolus of >15 mL/kg, systolic blood pressure <65 mmHg at least once, or cardiac arrest).
