Pre-oxygenate your sick pts in ICU/ER with NIV or high-flow oxygen (or both!) before intubation to avoid desaturation and collaps.#ISICEM17 pic.twitter.com/hnZ5RMu2nG

OPTINIV: combining NIV w high-flow oxygen (=apneic oxygenation) seems to best preserve oxygenation during intubation in the ICU. #ISICEM17 pic.twitter.com/PITHXLXzQZ

Key message ico urgent intubation: oxygenation takes priority. Use NIV to pre-ventilate = B-ABC approach #ISICEM17 pic.twitter.com/KquOms04XE
