Summary
Endotracheal intubation is common in the care of critically ill patients. Complications of
airway management in this setting are frequently encountered and may be associated with an
increased risk of death. The prevention of complications during urgent and emergent
endotracheal intubation is a key focus for airway management research. Post-intubation
hypotension (PIH), a common complication of endotracheal intubation in the critically ill,
may be prevented by a bolus of intravenous fluid prior to the start of the procedure, but
this approach has not been examined in a prospective trial. There are no randomized trials of
intravenous fluid administration to prevent PIH in critically ill adults. The investigators
propose a randomized trial of fluid loading to prevent PIH in critically ill adults.
