FROM BAD TO WORSE: Avoiding peri-intubation cardiac arrest with Dr. Sam Wood
Intubation in the emergency department (ED) can be a stressful endeavor. We are often presented with patients who have complex anatomy and tenous physiology. Because of this, it can be hard to look past the critical step of securing the airway. Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) and positive pressure ventilation can dismantle patients’ physiology and contribute to an almost 4% rate of post intubation cardiac arrest (PICA). Is there anything we can do to predict or prevent this? In this podcast, Sam Wood gives us an overview of the literature to help us answer these questions.
