Simply amazing! Working in Scandinavia, EM is slowly taking over or sharing the airway, whatever you name it. Your tips will serve as the back bones to build our Airway QI program!
BTW, I have been filming every intubations I have done or our residents have done. It is great to rewatch them with them, always full of learning points. Great way to learn and see how people trouble shoot certain problems!
Thanks for the inspiration!
Dr.Weingart I appreciate your podcast so much and all the knowledge you share. Some of the information is definitely way further down the line in the emergency case and things I can not apply fully to the field, but it is nice to hear what it is like further on into emergency cases. I would really appreciate your help with this question please. How do you record your intubations in your department? Is it the glidescope that allows you to have an sd card in it for storage? Is there a list somewhere I can find some VL devices that… Read more »
most of the new generation VL devices have recording capacity, including glidescope, cmac, and others.
I’ve run into the problem at my facility that IT won’t let us use an unencrypted flash drive, while the Glidescope won’t record to an encrypted drive. The Glidescope records date & time, which is considered PHI
set the year to 2099 and the time off by 6 hours
Any thoughts on incorporating high flow nasal oxygen into first pass intubation protocols…essentially extending the time prior to desaturation while apneic
not sure if there is bang for the buck unless the pt is already on it (in which case leave it on). If they are not on it, it will impede BVM and won’t provide sig. benefit compared to just cranking up the standard NC
Dr. Weingart, I have become very interested in data collection to improve outcomes and steer education. I find the level of debrief we currently exercise paltry and am fighting for improvement. Would you be willing to share your airway debrief tool? Your discussion of its importance led me to a “DUH!” moment and I wish to try and adopt something in my small world… Or if you have any further readings/research on this topic you would be willing to share?
Hi Scott. Long time listener, first time poster! I’m chair of our department and got super interested in this after listening to this. Just set out on trying to replicate some of your work here. I was wondering if you’d be willing to share your airway form. Or at least a list of the contents. I very much understand the balance between getting the right info and not making it onerous. Trying to get it right-ish from the getgo.
Thanks,
Tom K.
Hi Scott!
You talked about putting up the airway corner videos on your site or on youtube like the airway videos from Sydney HEMS. Is this coming soon?
Best regards
