In the NEAR registry, Is successful first-pass intubation more common in overdose patients or non-overdose patients?
There is no statistically significant difference in successful first-pass intubation between overdose and non-overdose patients, though overdose patients do not experience adverse peri-intubation events (such as hypotension, tachydysrrhythmias, etc.) as frequently.
