EMCrit 23 – Awake Intubation for Trauma and Medical Patients
So after the intubation video went up on emrap tv, I got a flurry of emails telling me how cool the concept is, but questioning who this would actually be usable on.
To answer that question, we first must discuss who actually requires intubation. If you wait until the patient is apneic, then of course you can’t use awake intubation. The idea is to intubate before the patient stops breathing.

Apneic ventilation using pressure-limited ventilation
Introduction 0 Noninvasive ventilation (i.e. BiPAP) is arguably the most powerful approach to optimize oxygenation and ventilation before intubation, given its ability to provide 100% FiO2, PEEP, and ventilatory support. The only way to improve upon this is to extend the administration of positive pressure ventilation throughout sedation and paralysis, right up until the moment […]

IBCC chapter & cast – Vocal cord dysfunction
Vocal cord dysfunction is a masquerader of life-threatening pathologies (most notably asthma and anatomic upper airway obstruction). Vocal cord dysfunction itself is not dangerous, but if not properly diagnosed it may lead to considerable iatrogenic harm (e.g. multiple unnecessary intubations for “asthma”). On the flip side, incorrect diagnosis of vocal cord dysfunction is also dangerous, […]

PulmCrit- Devil in the details: Endotracheal tube depth
According to Napoleon, “the moment of greatest vulnerability is the instant immediately after victory.” In airway management, this instant occurs immediately after placement of the endotracheal tube. There is a risk of relaxing and overlooking critical details. Meanwhile, this is often the point when the patient’s blood pressure and saturation nadir. Introduction with a rare but […]

PulmCrit: Large-bore suction for intubation: strategies & devices
The ideal suction tool for intubations is debatable, but it seems clear that the Yankauer is a poor choice. Persistent use of the Yankauer suction catheter for airway management represents a profession-wide failure in our ability to manage large-volume regurgitation.
