The key to Laryngoscopy is finding the Epiglottis. When the airway is bloody it will often “camouflage”, making it tougher to find. This makes it even more important to always be methodical:

1. Advance incrementally
2. Identify the Epiglottis
3. Expose the Larynx

Never forget how vulnerable your patient is!

What interested me today,is the students on my PALS course bought into the idea of maximal preoxygenation prior to airway management... in theory,but in simulation fell back to their existig practice. How to change the actions in practice, not just thought? @SkepticMedicZA

You can resuscitate a hemorrhagic shock patient through a 20G IV in their vein infinitely faster than through a 16G IV in the sharps container.

[Resuscitology @resuscitology]

In septic hypotensive ED patients, fluid boluses failed to achieve a sustained SBP of >100 mmHg in 40% of cases. In contrast, noradrenaline corrected hypotension in all patients.

If fluid isn't working, the answer isn't more fluid.
