Introduction to the SALAD Technique
Conceptualized by Jim DuCanto, SALAD comprises a set of techniques to optimize airway management. Airway management is often complicated with the occurrence of airway contamination in the form of blood or regurgitated material, especially in cases of out-of-hospital-cardiac arrest (OHCA). A 2011 review of major complications of hospital based airway management in the United Kingdom […]

Pulmcrit Wee- Rare catastrophic complications, heparin, and succinylcholine: Sometimes excellent is the enemy of perfect.
A multi-center RCT was released yesterday comparing rocuronium versus succinylcholine. It’s a thoroughly uninformative study, so at first I wasn’t planning to write about it. But then I realized that the study, in its very myopia, is a good illustration of our problem with rare catastrophic complications. warmup: heparin infusions and rare catastrophic complications A […]
IBCC chapter & cast: Bradycardia
Bradycardia emergencies are uncommon, but these cases can go sideways fast. An appropriately aggressive approach is needed to avoid cardiac arrest. Sometimes the answer is as simple as the appropriate epinephrine dose.
IBCC chapter & cast: Torsades de Pointes
Torsades de pointes is an uncommon cause of cardiac arrest. It is generally quite treatable, but if treated inadequately it will often recur (in some cases leading to repeated salvos of ventricular tachycardia, one form an electrical storm). A structured approach incorporating a pre-emptive protocoled magnesium infusion is generally quite effective. The IBCC chapter is […]

Top 10 reasons to stop cooling to 33C
Introduction 0 Following the Nielsen study, many hospitals developed two protocols for temperature management after cardiac arrest (33C or 36C). For example, the 36C protocol could be used for patients with contraindications to hypothermia (33C). With ongoing evidence emerging about hypothermia, many hospitals are abandoning their 33C protocols and using 36C for all post-arrest patients. […]
EMCrit Lecture – Top Ten Hypothermia Tips
At this stage of the game, if your hospital is not offering hypothermia to out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, you are probably lagging behind optimal care. For shockable rhythms, you essentially double your patient’s chances of leaving the hospital with good neurological outcome. However hypothermia can be tough, unless you have done a bunch. Learn from my mistakes in this lecture.
