26: The PREOXI Trial with Dr. Kevin Gibbs, MD

Extra Extra - Read All About It!! It is our pleasure to bring to you - hot off the presses - the results from the PREOXI Trial which looks at whether or not preoxygenation with non-invasive positive pressure ventilation results in better peri-intubation outcomes versus non-pressurized preoxygenation strategies. Joining us is the primary author on this paper, Dr. Kevin Gibbs, MD of Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Practice changing? Practice affirming? Does it even matter?! Check out our interview with Dr. Gibbs and see what you think! Leave us a comment and let us know if this is going to impact your practice in the ICU and beyond!
