Airway Update Screencast
Today is the third anniversary of the EM Basic podcast. To celebrate this milestone, this is a screencast titled “Airway Update”. I first prepared this lecture about two years ago for a conference but the topics are still relevant today. This will be most useful for medical students and EM interns who may not have been exposed to these airway topics. This screencast will help catch you up on what we have been talking about over the last two years on social media and FOAMed. We’ll review apenic oxygenation, delayed sequence intubation, how to effectively use ketamine in your practice, awake cricothyrotomy, and more.
Thank you to everyone for your support of the podcast. When I started I could have never dreamed EM Basic would be as successful as it is.
