Background: Based on current evidence, there appears to be an association between peri-intubation hypotension and patient morbidity and mortality. Studies have identified shock indices as possible pre-intubation risk factors for peri-intubation hypotension. Thus, we sought to evaluate the association between shock index (SI), modified shock index (MSI), and diastolic shock index (DSI) and peri-intubation hypotension along with other outcomes.
Methods: The present study is a sub-study of a randomized controlled trial involving critically ill patients undergoing intubation. We defined peri-intubation hypotension as a decrease in mean arterial pressure <65 mm Hg and/or a reduction of 40% from baseline; or the initiation of, or increase in infusion dosage of, any vasopressor medication (bolus or infusion) during the 30-min period following intubation. SI, MSI, and DSI were analyzed as continuous variables and categorically using pre-established cut-offs. We also explored the effect of age on shock indices.
Results: A total of 151 patients were included in the analysis. Mean pre-intubation SI was 1.0 ± 0.3, MSI 1.5 ± 0.5, and DSI 1.9 ± 0.7. Increasing SI, MSI, and DSI were significantly associated with peri-intubation hypotension (OR [95% CI] per 0.1 increase = 1.16 [1.04, 1.30], = .009 for SI; 1.14 [1.05, 1.24], = .003 for MSI; and 1.11 [1.04, 1.19], = .003 for DSI). The area under the ROC curves did not differ across shock indices (0.66 vs 0.67 vs 0.69 for SI, MSI, and DSI respectively; = .586). Increasing SI, MSI, and DSI were significantly associated with worse sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score (spearman rank correlation: r = 0.30, r = 0.40, and r = 0.45 for SI, MSI, and DSI, respectively, all < .001) but not with other outcomes. There was no significant impact when incorporating age.
Conclusions: Increasing SI, MSI, and DSI were all significantly associated with peri-intubation hypotension and worse SOFA scores but not with other outcomes. Shock indices remain a useful bedside tool to assess the potential likelihood of peri-intubation hypotension.

Background/objectives: Peri-intubation hypotension is a known complication of endotracheal intubation. In the hospital setting, peri-intubation hypotension has been shown to increase hospital mortality and length of stay. The use of prophylactic vasopressors at the time of sedation induction to prevent peri-intubation hypotension has been raised.

Cardiac tamponade is widely known to be associated with life-threatening hypotension and rarely with hypertension. We present the case of a 53-year-old woman with hypertension and echocardiographic features of tamponade who had a cardiac arrest on intubation. The paradoxical hypertension is thought to be due to tachycardia and increased peripheral vascular resistance resulting from the compensatory sympathetic surge following impaired cardiac filling caused by the effusion.

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.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how multiple attempts at emergency airway intubation in the emergency department (ED) increase the risk of complications.
- An analysis of data from a multicenter registry showed that out of 15,079 intubation cases, complications occurred in 14% of patients, with hypoxia being the most common major issue.
- The results indicated that the odds of major complications significantly increased with each additional intubation attempt, emphasizing the need for effective airway management strategies.

Introduction: Peri-intubation hypotension is associated with increased hospital length of stay and morbidity. Propofol is associated with alterations in hemodynamics. We hypothesize that using propofol for induction leads to peri-intubation hypotension in trauma critical care patients.
