The Impact of Nighttime on First Pass Success During the Emergent Endotracheal Intubation of Critically Ill Patients

While numerous investigations have described worse outcomes for patients undergoing emergent procedures at night, few studies have investigated the impact of nighttime on the outcomes of emergent endotracheal intubation (EEI). We hypothesized that for patients requiring EEI at night, the outcome of first pass success would be lower as compared to during the day.We performed a retrospective cohort study of all patients admitted to our institution...
