Ep 50: Airway Management Adventures Volume II

It's Airway Adventure time! In this episode of The Nurse Anesthesia Podcast, Jeremy dives into Volume II of Airway Management Adventures with four senior nurse anesthesia students. He discusses with each of them, their airway adventure from locations that include the ICU to the Operating Room. Each case illustrates critical decision-making under challenging circumstances, where key actions by both the nurse anesthesia student and CRNA are essential. The cases include information on videolaryngoscopy including flexible intubation (VIFI), preparing for an awake intubation…but then suddenly changing the plan, how to manage a massive goiter, and what it feels like to save the airway in the ICU. Buckle up, because it’s AIRWAY TIME!  Resources/information discussed in podcast·      Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation – Emergency Tracheostomy Management: https://www.apsf.org/article/keeping-patients-safe-during-emergency-tracheostomy-management/ ·      National Audit Project 4 (NAP 4): https://www.rcoa.ac.uk/research/research-projects/national-audit-projects-naps/nap4-major-complications-airway-management ·      Get your free The Nurse Anesthesia Crisis Checklists at www.thenurseanesthesia.com·      Sign up for our Crisis Management Video Series.
