    ObjectivesThe objective of the study is to investigate the feasibility of noninvasive nasal positive pressure ventilation (NINPPV) for optimizing oxygenation during the rapid sequence intubation in critically ill patients.MethodsA prospective, observational study was performed in an emergency department. Noninvasive nasal positive pressure ventilation was applied in the preoxygenation step and maintained until successful intubation. A pulse oximetry (Spo2) was continuously monitored throughout the procedure and recorded 5 times. The degree of interfering was surveyed with 10-point Likert scale.ResultsThirty patients were enrolled. The most of enrolled patients were diagnosed as pneumonia, acute heart failure, and traumatic brain injury. The Spo2 was increased to 100% (98%-100%) at the time of starting endotracheal intubation with NINPPV and maintained as 97% (95%-100%) until successful intubation (P< .001). Total apnea duration was 195 seconds (190-196). The degree of interfering intubation was 1 (0-1).ConclusionsNoninvasive nasal positive pressure ventilation would be useful for optimizing oxygenation during rapid sequence intubation.Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
