Prior research has shown that deep tracheal suctioning can result in more rapid development of hypoxemia. It is unclear if continuous suctioning during intubation poses a similar risk. Does the application of continuous suctioning during rapid sequence intubation (RSI) result ...
Introduction: Respiratory failure is an uncommon but important complication in pregnancy and the postpartum period, occurring 1 in 500 pregnancies.1 Respiratory failure can result from pregnancy-related conditions, conditions exacerbated by pregnancy, or pathologies common to the general population (Table 1). ...
Traditionally, endotracheal intubation has been the gold standard for airway management in cardiac arrest. However, more recent data suggests that maybe less is more (i.e. supraglottic airways and/or bag valve mask ventilation). The AHA guidelines have also de-emphasized airway management ...
Despite decades of experience with endotracheal intubation, we continue to find approaches to improving the process of how we intubate. In today’s post we are not only going to talk about how to avoid post intubation cardiac arrest, but we ...
Background: Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) is a common procedure performed by both emergency clinicians and intensivists. Although the procedure is complex, the major pieces are pre-oxygenation, administration of a sedative agent in close proximity with a paralytic, laryngoscopy and placement of ...
