Cite this article as: Jessica Rogers. Supraglottic airway devices, Don’t Forget the Bubbles, 2021. Available at:https://doi.org/10.31440/DFTB.32780 Endotracheal intubation (ETI) in children is thankfully rare and our first pass success rate could definitely do with some improvement. It is difficult to compare the efficacy of various advanced airway techniques in children. There are ethical implications, of… SupraglotticContinue reading “Supraglottic airway devices — Don’t Forget the Bubbles”

Analysis of tracheal intubation in out-of-hospital helicopter emergency medicine recorded by video laryngoscopy | Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine | Full Text
Tracheal intubation remains the gold standard of airway management in emergency medicine and maximizing safety, intubation success, and especially first-pass intubation success (FPS) in these situations is imperative. We conducted a prospective observational study on all 12 helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) bases of the Swiss Air Rescue, between February 15, 2018, and February 14,Continue reading “Analysis of tracheal intubation in out-of-hospital helicopter emergency medicine recorded by video laryngoscopy | Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine | Full Text”
