Hi, my name is Scott Weingart.
I am an ED Intensivist from New York City. My career goal and the purpose of this blog and podcast is to bring Upstairs Care, Downstairs-–that is to bring ICU level care to the ED, so our patients can receive optimum treatment the moment they roll through the door.

How many EM folks out there have access to a flexible fiberoptic scope in the ED?
We don’t but we bought a rigid fiberoptic stylet specifically to intubate through the laryngeal airways, it works great and is solid state so evil EM residents can’t break it as easily : )
We have a flex fiberoptic but unfortunately don’t use it that much–what are your thoughts on awake fiberoptic intubation in the ED by emergency physicians rather than anesthesia?
