Prevalence of peri-intubation major adverse events among critically ill patients: A systematic review and meta analysis.

Am J Emerg Med

September 2023

Program in Trauma and Critical Care, R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, United States of America; Research Associate Program, Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, United States of America; Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, United States of America.

Background: Peri-intubation major adverse events (MAEs) are potentially preventable and associated with poor patient outcomes. Critically ill patients intubated in Emergency Departments, Intensive Care Units or medical wards are at particularly high risk for MAEs. Understanding the prevalence and risk factors for MAEs can help physicians anticipate and prepare for the physiologically difficult airway.

Introduction: The utility of digital intubation, especially in an austere environment with limited equipment, has been previously described. However, evidence supporting best practices for its technique is limited. We seek to quantify the time to intubation and the rate of successful placement of the tube for digital intubation using different approaches and assistance devices.

Objective: The superior effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on glucose control compared with laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is confounded by the greater weight loss after RYGB. We therefore examined the effect of these two surgeries on metabolic parameters matched on small and large amounts of weight loss.

Research Design And Methods: Severely obese individuals with type 2 diabetes were tested for glucose metabolism, β-cell function, and insulin sensitivity after oral and intravenous glucose stimuli, before and 1 year after RYGB and LAGB, and at 10% and 20% weight loss after each surgery.

Does a preoperative medically supervised weight loss program improve bariatric surgery outcomes? A pilot randomized study.

Bellevue Center for Obesity and Weight Management, Bellevue Hospital Center, Department of Surgery, New York University School of Medicine, New Bellevue 15 South 7, 550 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016, USA.

Background: Many insurance payors mandate that bariatric surgery candidates undergo a medically supervised weight management (MSWM) program as a prerequisite for surgery. However, there is little evidence to support this requirement. We evaluated in a randomized controlled trial the hypothesis that participation in a MSWM program does not predict outcomes after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) in a publicly insured population.

Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a proven method for weight reduction. Less is known about pregnancies in patients after LAGB.

Methods: Information was gathered, through database and survey, on women who underwent LAGB at NYU Medical Center between 2001 and 2008 then became pregnant.
