Intubation and Mechanical Ventilation in Patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism: A Scoping Review.
Journal of Intensive Care Medicine 2024 September 25
OBJECTIVES: High-risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with significant mortality and may require emergency endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. Intubation and ventilation are thought to exacerbate cardiorespiratory instability. Our purpose was to conduct a systematic literature review to identify studies investigating peri-intubation events in acute PE.
METHODS: A systematic search of Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Cochrane Library was performed. Results were screened by two independent observers. Studies reporting on intubation and positive pressure ventilation in acute PE patients were included. The primary outcome was adverse events during the peri-intubation period. Data was synthesized and an assessment of risk of bias was conducted. The review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023444483).
RESULTS: 4100 unique articles were screened. Three retrospective studies comprising 104 patients with acute PE met criteria and were included. Peri-intubation, hemodynamic collapse was observed in 19%-28% of cases. Patients with hemodynamic collapse exhibited higher rates of echocardiographic RV dysfunction.
CONCLUSIONS: Peri-intubation adverse events are common in patients with acute PE. Current evidence is limited and highlights the need for further research to optimize management of respiratory failure in acute PE and patient selection for intubation to improve patient outcomes.
