Breakdown COPD from the pathophysiology to recognition to treatment plan.
Discuss delayed sequence intubation. From definition, concept, application and appropriate patient selection.
Breakdown of asthma, from the pathophysiology to the recognition in the field and treatment plan.
Breakdown the resuscitation period of an intubation. How the "reversible causes" may not only apply to cardiac arrest.
Discuss the fundamentals of positioning a patient for an intubation. Then discuss how the process may (or may not) change for some specific situations such as a heart failure or increased cranial pressure patient.
Redefining "Success" in the context of airway management. Although this may apply to any component of emergency medicine, this takes a close look at critical care of a missed airway and the lessons learned of the classic QAQI process and how it may be flawed.
The reason that this podcast exists. The mentality that defines improvement from one call to the next. How do we learn from mistakes, and how should we develop a culture of excellence within a department?
