Podcast #57 - Resuscitate Then Intubate (RTI) Approach Saves Lives

Everyone talks about airway all the time, and I was at first reluctant to give this talk.  However, I believe it is time to talk about this important subject in a slightly different way.  The last time we talked about airway management in regards to intubation was with Kris Maday (from the PAINE Podcast) in Podcast #18 where we went over the basics (a great review to listen to first if needed).  There we talked mostly about rapid sequence intubation (RSI).  Although commonly used, this is not for every patient.  Today, we talk about RTI, which is what we need in most patients.
