Observational Study on the Effectiveness of Ventilator-Assisted Preoxygenation (VAPOX) Over Bag Valve Mask (BVM) Ventilation During Rapid Sequence Intubation in Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress
VAPOX is superior to BVM for preoxygenation during RSI in critically ill patients, demonstrating faster oxygenation, better maintenance of oxygen saturation, and significantly improved PaO<sub>2</sub>/FiO<sub>2</sub> ratios, thereby minimizing transient and critical hypoxemia.
