Do your EMS personnel intubate?
Do they use VL?
Do you have a robust airway CQI program?
If not, you don't want to miss this episode with Dr. Brian Miller. He has developed a robust Airway CQI process that truly impact outcomes in the field.
ToOffer our EMSProviders relevant&useful information so as to support them—as they are supporting a seriously ailing nation—is a pleasure, an honor, and I feel, it is a duty that physicians owe one of the most important professionals in modern healthcare—our prehospital providers
@AmboFOAM Plus the bonus for the occasional intubator is that you can learn 90% of ETT delivery w HA-VL on a manikin. You need actual patients to learn to use a Mac blade.
Mac laryngoscopy is both more resource intensive to learn & less reliable in experienced hands. It’s a lose-lose.
If we’d all grown up being trained to use HA-VL & someone just invented the Mac blade, would anyone bother to learn using it?
I doubt it.
If you really want to maximise 1st pass success, learn HA-VL. It’s just better.
NEAR registry of ED intubations from 2002 to 2012.
1) >85% were RSI
2) Etomidate and Succ most common but Roc rapidly increased.
3) VL increased over 10 years from <1% to 39%
5) FPS overall was 83% but increasing.

On this sacred day, we honor the innocent lives lost and recognize the courage of those who made the ultimate sacrifice save others 19 years ago. Watch the 19th anniversary of 9/11 commemoration ceremony at https://t.co/dHu4HHeW6d. #Honor911
Incredible short film from Harborview in Seattle. Just in case you forgot that #COVID19 is an extremely dangerous disease that spares some and devastates others for reasons that are not well understood. h/t: @nicchik90
