TL;DR: The use of a lung-protective ventilation strategy in intermediate-risk and high-risk patients undergoing major abdominal surgery was associated with improved clinical outcomes and reduced health care utilization.

TL;DR: The implementation of an intubation management protocol can reduce immediate severe life-threatening complications associated with intubations of ICU patients.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of lung-protective ventilation strategy in intermediate-risk and high-risk patients undergoing major abdominal surgery was associated with improved clinical out comes and reduced health care utilization.

TL;DR: In obese patients, the incidence of difficult intubation was twice more frequent in ICU than in the OT and severe life-threatening complications related to intubations occurred 20-fold more often in ICu.

TL;DR: Administration of O2 via a facemask with NPPV with pressure support-ventilation and positive end-expiratory pressure in the operating room is safe, feasible, and efficient in morbidly obese patients and provides a more rapid O2 administration, achieving a higher ETo2.
