“…The analysis of 9,667 patients shows that patients intubated in the ER die significantly more than those intubated in the OR (17.4% Vs 7.1%, p < 0.001). 1 To minimize confounding, the authors take the choice to exclude patients deadon-arrival, undergoing ED thoracotomy, or with clinical indications for intubation (severe head/neck/face injury or GCS <8). 1 Despite this, a certain number of missing elements, whether in the profile of the patients or the timeline of their management, limit us in the analysis of the results.…”
