Open access article addressing how to avoid this rare but often fatal complication of airway management…
Preventing unrecognized esophageal intubation in the emergency department ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
Missed esophageal intubation.
In the OR/PACU.
At a world class institution.
In 2022. cbs8.com/mobile/article/news…
Makes you wonder, aside from cost, which granted is not a trivial issue, whether there are any legitimate arguments for not using a videolaryngoscope routinely when a rigid laryngoscope is indicated for intubation
VL vs DL & SKILL FADE.
A thread
Was pondering skill decay
VL & DL
I don’t think we have any evidence one way or the other
It may occur
If so does this this matter?
A few thoughts

All set for our annual Airway Journal Club for the residents, which would be not be complete without a laryngoscope piñata. Finally found a use for the direct laryngoscope!
@pacheco_garrett
Prevention of unrecognized esophageal intubation in the ED requires a 2 pronged approach:
1. Routine use of VL to reduce the occurrence of esophageal intubation
2. Routine use of capnography to rapidly identify esophageal intubation

I woke up today wondering what was being argued on #AirwayTwitter today, but then I realized I had a root canal scheduled for this morning, and I was elated with my good fortune 😉
If you take a Mac VL with you, you are not in fact crossing the Rubicon

Thinking a lot about the asphyxia case I posted yesterday.
Genuine question for all you #EMS folks - in 2023, should an unrecognized esophageal intubation resulting in patient death lead to criminal charges, specifically first degree murder?

I think a good definition of an intubation attempt is the insertion of an instrument into the upper airway with the intent of placing a tube in the trachea
