Welcome Journal of Emergency Medicine Readers
I wrote an article called Preoxygenation, Reoxygenation, and Delayed Sequence Intubation in the Emergency Department (J Emerg Med. 2011;40(6):661).
Two anaesthetists, Drs. Gill and Edmondson wrote a letter of response to this manuscript. (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jemermed.2012.01.071)
Rather than writing a snarky response, instead I got Dr. Gill on the line and had an actual conversation about the points raised in their letter. You can play this conversation below. Only at that point, when I actually knew what he was asking and we had hashed out some consensus did I respond in print. (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jemermed.2012.11.083)
Further discussion, articles, and videos on preoxygenation and reoxygenation issues can be found on the EMCrit Preox Page.

Now on to the conversation…

Great approach – rather than bash out through the letters pages of journals, get it all out in open via FOAMed, the best way to learn and develop ideas. Having met ya’ at SMACC2103, reckon you display both humility and a keenness to engage medics like we’ve never been challenged before. Good stuff.
One word: mastery
Tim & Domhnall–Thanks for the support!
Sound reasoning backed up by evidence. Isn’t that beautiful how effective this approach is. Thanks again Dr. Weingart…
