Brief summary
Intubation is a common procedure in the intensive care unit. Hypoxemia is the most frequent complication of this procedure. Monitoring the end-tidal of oxygen is recommended in operating room (OR). End-tidal of oxygen (EtO2) \>90% is an indication of a correct preoxygenation. This monitoring is not used in routine in intensive care unit (ICU). There is no recommendation on the monitoring of end-tidal of oxygen in intensive care unit. In practice, clinicians use pulsed oxygen saturation (SpO2) to determine whether the patient is sufficiently preoxygenated. However, this parameter is not a good indicator of a correct preoxygenation. In the OR, patients are compliant during the preoxygenation period and the measure of EtO2 with the face mask monitor is considered reliable because i) mask leakage is minimal and ii) the patient can breathe slowly and regularly. Theses conditions are not available in critical ill patients requiring emergency intubation. EtO2 measured on the facemask may not reflect true EtO2. This concern about the reliability of EtO2 measurement via the facemask justifies that we conduct a study to compare EtO2 measured on a facemask (facemask EtO2) to EtO2 measured in pharynx (via e nasopharyngeal catheter). The aim of this study is to determine whether the measurement of EtO2 on facemask is reliable in patients in ICU.
Detailed description
This is a prospective non-comparative interventional study. A double monitoring of EtO2 will be performed during the procedure of intubation (from the beginning of the preoxygenation to the success of intubation): * In the pharynx (via a nasopharyngeal catheter) for the needs of the study * On the facemask (as the practice in the OR) The duration of the study will not exceed one hour, including the installation of the devices.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of expired O2 at facemask during preoxygenation | Hour 1 | compare facemask EtO2 to pharyngeal EtO2 during preoxygenation in order to know if facemask monitoring is sufficient or if a nasopharyngeal catheter is absolutely necessary to monitor alveolar oxygenation. |
| Percentage of expired pharyngeal O2 during preoxygenation | Hour 1 | compare facemask EtO2 to pharyngeal EtO2 during preoxygenation in order to know if facemask monitoring is sufficient or if a nasopharyngeal catheter is absolutely necessary to monitor alveolar oxygenation. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of patient who had a pulsed oxygen saturation under 90% | Hour 1 | Hypoxemia is defined as the occurrence of a pulsed oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≤ 90%. The end of preoxygenation is defined by the induction of anesthetics drugs. Successful intubation is defined by the presence of 3 identical waveforms on the capnograph. |
