Abstract

Tetanus is an acute infectious disease caused by Clostridium tetani and remains associated with high mortality, particularly in severe cases requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The neurotoxin tetanospasmin induces persistent muscle spasms, autonomic dysfunction, and respiratory failure, rendering ICU management complex and resource-intensive. This narrative review aims to synthesize current evidence on multimodal supportive care strategies that improve clinical outcomes in patients with severe tetanus managed in the ICU. This literature review identifies several interrelated components as central to successful management, including early airway control and mechanical ventilation, optimized sedation and spasm control using benzodiazepines, magnesium sulfate, and selected adjuvant agents, targeted nutritional and metabolic support through early enteral feeding, prevention of ICU-related complications, and early rehabilitation to mitigate ICU-acquired weakness. Collectively, evidence indicates that a comprehensive, evidence-based supportive care approach improves hemodynamic stability, reduces complication rates, and facilitates functional recovery in patients with severe tetanus.

Abstract

Introduction: Bougie-first and stylet-first techniques are widely used to facilitate adult tracheal intubation, but randomized evidence remains inconsistent across emergency, intensive care, and operating room settings. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare bougie-first versus stylet-first intubation in adults, focusing on first-attempt intubation success and key procedural and airway-related safety outcomes. Material and Methods: We conducted a PRISMA 2020–compliant systematic review registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261298317). PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched from database inception to 31 January 2026. Records were screened in duplicate, and randomized controlled trials enrolling adults (≥18 years) undergoing oral tracheal intubation comparing a planned bougie-first strategy versus a planned stylet-first strategy were included. Random-effects meta-analyses pooled dichotomous outcomes as odds ratios (ORs) and continuous outcomes as mean differences (MDs). Results: From 1,158 records, eight randomized controlled trials involving 2,578 participants were included. First-attempt intubation success did not differ significantly between bougie-first and stylet-first techniques (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.37–2.65; p = 0.980), with substantial heterogeneity (I² = 89.05%; p < 0.001). Bougie-first was associated with longer time to successful intubation (MD 21.84 seconds, 95% CI 5.55–38.14; p = 0.010), although heterogeneity was very high (I² = 97.37%; p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in more than one attempt (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.21–3.91; p = 0.900), esophageal intubation (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.17–1.40; p = 0.180), pulmonary aspiration (OR 1.47, 95% CI 0.57–3.75; p = 0.420), or postoperative sore throat (OR 1.10, 95% CI 0.48–2.52; p = 0.830).  Conclusion: Current randomized evidence did not demonstrate a consistent difference in first-attempt intubation success between bougie-first and styletfirst tracheal intubation in adults. Bougie-first was associated with longer intubation time, but this finding should be interpreted cautiously because of very high heterogeneity and variable timing definitions.
