In this episode we discuss trauma airway management with Doc
Godfrey (CricEm if you got
‘em).
Doc sits down with us as we look at a paper from The Journal of
Trauma and Acute Care Surgery
which discusses prehospital definitive airway not being associated
with improved survival in
trauma patients.
Trauma airway management is complicated, but it doesn’t
necessarily need to be…
We talk about how to best utilize your clinical skills and
assessment along with BLS and basic
airway adjuncts as well as medical direction’s role and the
effectiveness of appropriate training.
Great chat and as always, we appreciate Doc CricEm (Godfrey) for
coming on to talk with us to
provide everyone with some quality evidence-based guidelines for
airway management.
As always, thanks for listening and we hope this series provides just one more tool to help you better yourself and the patients we see daily.
