Pragmatic Trial Examining Oxygenation Prior to Intubation

The delivery of oxygen and ventilation by non-invasive mechanical ventilation via a tight-fitting mask from the initiation of preoxygenation until the initiation of laryngoscopy. Trial protocol will not dictate the brand or type of mechanical ventilator that will be used to deliver non-invasive ventilation.

The delivery of supplemental oxygen via a non-rebreather mask or bag-mask device without manual ventilation from the initiation of preoxygenation until induction. Trial protocol will not dictate the brand or type of facemask. The decision between use of a non-rebreather mask and use of a bag-mask device will be made by treating clinicians. The decision of whether to provide manual ventilation with a bag-mask device between induction and laryngoscopy will be made by treating clinicians.
