PREoxygenation for the Intubation of Hypoxemic Patients: Comparison of Standard Oxygenation, High Flow Nasal Oxygen Therapy, and NonInvasive Ventilation

Prospective, randomized clinical multicentric study, in ICU, during preoxygenation for the intubation of hypoxemic patients.

Prospective randomized clinical multicentric study in ICU, comparing standard oxygenation, high flow nasal oxygen therapy and non invasive ventilation (NIV) , with pulse oxymetry values (SpO2), during preoxygenation for hypoxemic patients

Inclusion Criteria:

• adults patients
• requiring intubation and hypoxemia (defined by PaO2/FiO2 below 200)
• patient covered by french health care system

Exclusion Criteria:

• patient refusal
• intubation for other causes (excluding hypoxemia)
• impossibility to measure pulse oxymetry value
• contraindication for NIV : vomiting
• NIV intolerance
• cardiac arrest during intubation
