Saw an intubation in the ICU today. Operator asked for the GlideScope at the bedside, “just in case.”
“Just in case” turned into a second attempt at 78% while the succs was wearing off.
Hasty low-oxygen delivery for neonatal resuscitation using an infant BVM with neonate mask and pulmodyne (delivering ~30% FiO2) with the ability to add supplemental O2 to meet additional needs of the patient.
Thoughts?
Sedation-only Intubation (I know…)
Secondary to RSI, what would you prefer?
84%Ketamine Only
16%Etomidate Only
19 votes • Final resultsWe have to disconnect outcomes with failure. Just because a patient dies, does not mean that you failed. The opposite is also true, patient survival does not equate to success. We have to look at the processes we use. Sometimes we get a bad result when we use a good process.
Had my first pediatric arrest today, and with a suboptimal outcome.
Our new medical director is top notch
Intra-arrest the patients eyes were steadily panning left and right, 3mm, sluggish, no nystagmus, not tracking light source. No reaction to flick “test”.
I’ve never seen that before. SCA post racquet ball game, bystander CPR started with AED application and 2 shocks PTA of EMS.
