About this episode

The episode discusses recent EMS airway literature and management questions related to cardiac arrest and video laryngoscopy.

There are always airway management questions floating around the Department of Clinical Services here at MCHD. "Why don't we intubate our cardiac arrest patients like we used to?" "MCHD has been hyper-focused on recording video laryngoscopy over the past year. Why?" Join the podcast crew to discuss recent EMS airway literature that helps us answer these questions and provides invaluable tips. This is part one of a two-part series. REFERENCES 1.
