Does giving oxygen to patients through nasal tube before giving artificial respiration (intubation) improve oxygen level in patients with respiratory failure compared to the standard face mask oxygen in patients presenting to Emergency Department.

Does pre-oxygenation with a nasopharyngeal cannula during intubation improve the apneic oxygenation of patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure compared to the standard Bag valve mask pre-oxygenation in patients presenting to Emergency department.
