RCT on Airway Management in Comatose Patients with Acute Poisoning

An RCT discussed whether a conservative approach for comatose patients with acute poisoning is better than current practice, focusing on airway management. Conducted in multiple centers in France from May 2021 to April 2023, the study compared a conservative strategy of withholding intubation to routine practice based on emergency physician discretion. Results showed the conservative group had lower ICU and hospital stays and improved hierarchical composite endpoint outcomes.
