SCCM Resource Library-Difficult Airway Management When the Future Is Measured in Minutes (Flipped Classroom)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In a flipped classroom session on difficult airway management, two experts discuss various aspects of airway management in different scenarios. Dr. Chet Morrison highlights the challenges of managing difficult airways in trauma patients and discusses various techniques and equipment options. He emphasizes the importance of pre-hospital oxygenation and suggests techniques such as direct laryngoscopy, video laryngoscopy, fiber optic tracheal intubation, light wand, intubating LMA, gum bougie, and the use of algorithms for difficult airways. Dr. Jared Mosher discusses the time-sensitive nature of airway management and the importance of overcoming anatomical obstacles, reducing time to desaturation, and ensuring effective reoxygenation. He recommends thorough preparation and positioning, utilizing airway equipment, and monitoring to optimize success rates. He suggests strategies for pre-oxygenation, including denitrogenation, and positioning, and emphasizes the importance of teamwork and effective communication. Overall, the experts provide practical tips and techniques for managing difficult airway scenarios and stress the need for careful planning and preparation in order to achieve successful outcomes.
