Preoxygenation Before Prehospital Tracheal Intubation With NIV Versus Balloon. A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial in Mobile Medical Emergency Rescue Service

Recent studies reports feasibility, effectiveness and even less complications of using NIV for preoxygenation during tracheal intubation in ICU and in Operating Room. None study has been done in emergency out-of-hospital medical rescue. This trial attempts to demonstrate same results or even more in that conditions.

This trial will compare classical preoxygenation strategy with unidirectional valve autofilling balloon versus NIV.
