Awake intubation remains an important tool for predicted difficult airways. This Annals study found high success and low serious complication rates in a real-world emergency department. #EmergencyMedicine #Airway #AnnalsEM annemergmed.com/article/S019…

#CCR23: In the DEVICE trial, the use of video laryngoscopy in critically ill patients undergoing intubation in the ED or ICU resulted in a higher incidence of successful intubation on the first attempt than direct laryngoscopy. nej.md/43H2t79

Another great day of awakes! Still floored that I’m afforded the privilege to work and teach with these legends. @SowersMD included.

First time seeing/using the peds Glidescope HAVL blade. Found the handle extremely small rendering laryngoscopy challenging. Any tips/tricks on troubleshooting this from #AirwayTwitter?

For Ace inhibitor-induced angioedema should we be doing steroids/epi/antihistamines? What about FFP? TXA? Icatibant? Ecallantide? C1 esterase? What ACTUALLY works? Dr. Murray has our answers: emottawablog.com/2022/11/ace…

We often talk about performing awake intubations in the ED, but there are some nuances in the actual process to consider. Dr. Nicholas Choi has a great approach to increase your procedural comfort, with some insights from @ParxEM and @airwaycam emottawablog.com/2022/12/awa…

Historically, we have approached angioedema the same way we do anaphylaxis, out of a paucity of evidence. Dr. Murray takes a deep dive into ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema, and gives us the best evidence-based wisdom on approaching these patients: emottawablog.com/2022/11/ace…

Be sure to check your kids' Halloween candy this year. I cut into my son's Butterfinger and it's recommending he routinely perform cricoid pressure.

More evidence showing high rates (7.4%) of awareness of paralysis among ED patients 😬😬😬 journal.chestnet.org/article…

Pretty jarring study in Annals of EM showing prevalence of awareness following ED intubation of 2.6% (more common in patients who received rocuronium)...(1/3) A few recommendations below. annemergmed.com/article/S019…

Great case of "glottic impersonation", where proximal esophagus can mimic glottis. This is why it's important to be methodical with laryngoscopy and to NEVER rely solely on direct visualization for ETT placement. Always confirm placement with waveform CO2.

AIME Awake! Our first ever cadaver-based awake course is in the books. Privileged to teach alongside Adam Law + George Kovacs. Innumerable pearls around decision making, patient coaching, topicalization, and device use. Looking forward to the next one. @CAEP_Docs
