Beyond volutrauma in ARDS: the critical role of lung tissue deformation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Clinical team composition for prehospital paediatric intubation may affect success and complication rates. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the success and complication rates by type of clinical team.
