Podcast 70 – Airway Management with Rich Levitan

April 1, 2012 by Scott Weingart 35 Comments

The best lecture on Airway Management–Ever?

Rich Levitan is one of the best teachers on the skills of laryngoscopy–or as he would probably put it, epiglottoscopy. Here is an hour long lecture he delivered last month at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. It is surely one of the best airway lectures I have ever heard.

Want to hear more from Dr. Levitan? Visit his airway site at airwaycam.com.

Common sense from the Airway Master! Thank-you Doc’s Weingart and Levitan. Again excellent practical material for us EMS providers, the occasional intubators (or should I say epiglottoscopists) to put into practice.

Agreed! If you have the chance Don, I recommend taking his cadaver-lab class in Baltimore; well worth it.

Fantastic practical info. I particullally liked the analogy of breathlessness and head extension or flexion. Also appreciated the history given by Dr Levitan, some of those guys were really smart.

Dr. Levitan is pretty amazing. Not trying to be difficult. Whenever the conversation about cricoid pressure comes up I think one has to balance the discussion about its “potential efficacy” and I think its reasonable to consider this paper from anesthesia and analgesia 2009 in the conversation:
“Cricoid Pressure Results in Compression of the
Postcricoid Hypopharynx: The Esophageal Position
Is Irrelevant”

Had the opportunity to put into practice some of the info Dr. Levitan reviewed on this Podcast on a tough Field Intubation. Out of Hospital cardiac arrest grade 4 view on Obese patient. Remembering the “epiglottoscopist” approach ( in fact the very word was running through my head as I was inserting the laryngoscope) successfully ID’ed the anatomy and caught the posterior side of the epiglottis with a bougie to intubate this difficult airway.
Very common sense approach for us EMS type’s to manage some of the sick folks we are called to care for.
