Use, timing and factors associated with tracheal intubation in septic shock: a prospective multicentric observational study

Abstract

Neurological, respiratory and hemodynamic parameters only partially explained the use of tracheal intubation in septic shock patients. Center effect was important. Finally, a vast part of the variability of intubation remained unexplained by patient characteristics.
