Podcasts about endotracheal intubation

In this conversation we will examine the latest in non-invasive ventilation via the helmet interface. Recent empirical research has shown that ventilation via helmet can mean faster recovery time, shortening an ICU stay, reduces the need to intubate, lowers ICU mortality, and can result in minimal or no sedation of the patient.  Aurika Savickaite is a registered based in Chicago and was involved in the successful testing of the helmet ventilator in the ICU at the University of Chicago during a three-year trial study. Aurika has worked as a registered nurse and patient care manager at the University of Chicago Medical Centre, Medical Intensive Care Unit, and as a staff nurse at Vilnius University Hospital, in the intensive care unit. She earned a Bachelor of Rehabilitation and Nursing at Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine in 2001. Aurika is a recognized expert in noninvasive ventilation via the helmet interface and has garnered widespread respect within the medical community for her passionate work in this area. She was involved in a successful three-year trial study at the University of Chicago Medical Center that tested the effectiveness of helmet-based ventilation in the ICU. Drawing on this experience, Aurika founded HelmetBasedVentilation.com, a website that has become a valuable resource for medical professionals seeking to learn more about the benefits of helmets and their use in treating patients with respiratory distress. In the episode we cover: The story of exploration into NIV for Aurika and what did the covid pandemic reinforce?  The benefits of NIV in general. What are the benefits of helmet ventilation over NIV mask ventilation (greater alveolar recruitment).  The study - Effect of Non-invasive Ventilation Delivered by Helmet vs Face Mask on the Rate of Endotracheal Intubation in Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome - A Randomized Clinical Trial. Commonly seen pathologies that benefit from NIV and the onward benefit.   What are some of the pre-hospital benefits in transport and retrieval. The indications and contraindications of NIV.

Question-based and quick review of important subject of patients in need of invasive active airway intervention (as opposed to those who benefit from non-invasive intervention or those who just need supplemental oxygenation without a need for active airway). We discuss endotracheal intubation (including crash intubation, RSI, Elective ETI) and we discuss alternatives including crycothyrotomy versus long-term surgical airway indication (i.e. Tracheostomy).

Remember AIRWAYS-2, the British RCT comparing iGel to ETI in adults with cardiac arrest? Have you wondered if those results would hold up in a different prehospital population? Wonder no more. Dr. Jarvis reviews the SAVE Trial, another RCT of adult, non-traumatic cardiac arrest comparing iGel to ETI in Taiwan. Citation: 1. Lee AF, Chien YC, Lee BC, et al.

How should we handle the airway in out of hospital cardiac arrest? Just bag and go? Should we tube these guys? Maybe just toss in a supraglottic?

We co-hosted (with John Vassiliadis) the SMACC EM Updates half-day conference. We had amazing speakers. Salim Rezaie spoke on TXA for Everything, Ken Milne spoke on hot papers from 2018, and we learned about when ultrasound may be helpful in pediatric lumbar punctures. In addition, Jeremy spoke on what is usual care in sepsis and Lauren spoke on pulmonary embolism: the next generation. In this short podcast we highlight some of our other talks. Aidan Baron (@Aidan_Baron) on Prehospital Updates in Cardiac Arrest This talk focused on focusing on things that are most likely to make a difference in OHCA (bystander CPR and defibrillation) rather than on fun interventions like intubation and adrenaline (epinephrine). Aidan suggests that the future debates and questions in OHCA will be largely philosophical - what outcomes do we care about: neuro intact survival or ROSC or survival?  Jabre P, Penaloza A, Pinero D, et al.

Esta es la tercera parte de una trilogía de artículos relacionados a la publicación de estos tres estudios sobre el manejo de la vía aérea en el paciente en paro cardiaco. Si usted no ha leído las primeras dos entradas, o escuchado los episodios del ECCpodcast relacionados a esto, por favor lea u oiga estos primero ya que sientan las bases para entender el por qué estos artículos son importantes a pesar de que los resultados no sean tan alentadores. Veamos un resumen de los tres estudios antes de discutirlos en detalle: Estudio #1: Efecto de una Ventilación usando Dispositivo Bolsa Mascarilla versus Intubación Endotraqueal durante Resucitación Cardiopulmonar en el Resultado Neurológico Luego del Paro Cardiorrespiratorio Fuera del Hospital Entre pacientes con paro cardiaco fuera del hospital, el uso del dispositivo bolsa mascarilla, comparado con la intubación endotraqueal, falló e demostrar no-inferioridad o inferioridad para la sobrevivencia con función neurológica favorable a los 28 días. El estudio fue inconcluso. Estudio #2: Efecto de una Estrategia Inicial de Inserción de Tubo Laríngeo versus Intubación Endotraqueal en la Sobrevivencia a 72 horas en Adultos con Paro Cardiaco (Estudio PART) Entre adultos con paro cardiaco fuera del hospital, la estrategia de inserción inicial de un tubo laríngeo fue asociada con un incremento significativo en sobrevivencia a las 72 horas que la estrategia inicial de intubación endotraqueal. Estos hallazgos sugieren que la inserción de un tubo laríngeo puede ser considerada como una estrategia inicial de manejo de la vía aérea en el paciente en paro cardiaco fuera del hospital. Estudio #3: Efecto de la Estrategia de un Dispositivo Supraglótico versus Intubación Endotraqueal Durante el Paro Cardiaco Fuera del Hospital en Resultado Funcional (Estudio AIRWAYS-2) Entre pacientes con paro cardiaco fuera del hospital, la estrategia aleatorizada de un dispositivo supraglótico versus intubación traqueal no tuvo el resultado funcional favorable a los 30 días. Control de Daño vs. Control Definitivo En el pasado, los pacientes que tenían múltiples traumas mayores eran llevados al quirófano para corregir uno y cada uno de ellos. Estas cirugías eran muy extensas en complejidad y tiempo. Sin embargo, luego se demostró que los pacientes más complejos se beneficiaban de procedimientos más cortos donde se buscaba controlar las amenazas a la vida. Nadie está poniendo en duda la capacidad de los cirujanos de trauma en realizar las reparaciones que el paciente necesita. Lo que se demostró fue que no era el momento adecuado para hacerlas todas. Similarmente, el manejo de la vía aérea durante el paro cardiaco debe ser limitado a las intervenciones necesarias para controlar el desastre mientras se pueden corregir los otros problemas apremiantes. Luego, en una segunda tanda, se puede optar por realizar otros procedimientos más definitivos. No es una cuestión de capacidad del proveedor sino de estrategia. La reina se puede mover en cualquier dirección. Solo porque pueda no significa que siempre debe hacerlo. Estudio #1: Efecto de una Ventilación usando Dispositivo Bolsa Mascarilla versus Intubación Endotraqueal durante Resucitación Cardiopulmonar en el Resultado Neurológico Luego del Paro Cardiorrespiratorio Fuera del Hospital (Estudio CAAM) En este estudio el uso de un dispositivo avanzado para el manejo de la vía aérea no demostró ser mejor, indistintamente qué sea lo que se use. Una de las teorías detrás de esto es, como mencioné en los otros dos artículos anteriores, es que durante el paro cardiaco, hay demasiadas intervenciones críticas e importantes ocurriendo simultáneamente. Carga cognitiva durante el paro cardiaco La carga cognitiva durante el paro cardiaco es una intervención a considerar. Posiblemente el reto está en optar por la estrategia menos dañina, mientras se logra el control de la situación más rápido y efectivo posible. Dominio avanzado de destreza básica La decisión de manejar la vía aérea con un dispositivo avanzado, específicamente la intubación endotraqueal, tiene que ser guiada por el fracaso en el manejo con un dispositivo bolsa mascarilla. Aunque en este estudio no mostró diferencia en sobrevivencia con buen estado neurológico entre la ventilación con dispositivo bolsa mascarilla y la intubación endotraqueal, hubo un número muy alto de dificultades con el uso del dispositivo bolsa mascarilla. Esto sugiere que debemos buscar formas innovadoras de practicarla. Estudio #2: Efecto de una Estrategia Inicial de Inserción de Tubo Laríngeo versus Intubación Endotraqueal en la Sobrevivencia a 72 horas en Adultos con Paro Cardiaco (Estudio PART) Los proveedores que realizaron las intervenciones básicas y avanzadas en este estudio fueron paramédicos de 27 sistemas de emergencias médicas de los Estados Unidos y atendieron a 3,004 pacientes en paro cardiaco. Las tazas de éxito inicialmente con el tubo laríngeo fueron dramáticamente superiores a las del tubo endotraqueal: Tubo laríngeo: 90.3% Tubo traqueal: 51.6% En adición, hubo una gran incidencia de complicaciones con la intubación endotraqueal: 3 (o más) intentos para asegurar la vía aérea (19% vs 5%) Vía aérea inicial no exitosa (44% vs 12%) Vía aérea mal colocada o desalojamiento sin reconocer  (1.8% vs 0.7%) Ventilación inadecuada (1.8% vs 0.6%) Pneumotórax (7.0% vs 3.5%) No hubo una diferencia en eventos adversos tales como pneumonía o pneumonitis debido a aspiración. Tampoco hubo diferencias entre las lesiones orofaríngeas o edema de la vía aérea. Éxito de intubación endotraqueal en 51.6% vs 86.3% En el pasado, otros estudios han demostrado un 90% de éxito en la intubación endotraqueal fuera del hospital. Sin embargo, en este estudio solo un 51.6% tuvo éxito. Aunque los autores del estudio #2 no proveen una explicación a este número tan bajo, sí sugieren que se puede deber a que los directores médicos de estos 27 sistemas envueltos en el estudio favorecen que los proveedores no duren mucho tiempo intentando intubar un paciente y que se muevan rápido a un dispositivo supraglótico si están enfrentando dificultades. Como vamos a mencionar más adelante en la discusión del estudio AIRWAYS-2, en este estudio participaron proveedores de 27 sistemas de emergencias médicas, lo que significa que tuvo una diversidad de proveedores con diversidad de destrezas, lo que representa el mundo real. Para efectos de este estudio, queda la duda si las tazas de sobrevivencia serían mejores con la intubación endotraqueal si esta fuese hecha por proveedores con mejor destreza. Sin embargo, las intubaciones en el  estudio #1 fueron realizadas por médicos y el estudio #3 fueron realizadas por paramédicos con menor incidencia de complicaciones y la sobrevivencia no fue mayor en el grupo de las intubaciones. Intubación endotraqueal bien hecha no tiene ningún beneficio. Mal hecho, trae peores resultados cuando se compara con la inserción de un dispositivo alterno o manejo básico. Cualquiera puede aprender a hacerlo rápido. Hacerlo bien muchas veces toma tiempo. Hacerlo bien es necesario. En el siguiente estudio, las tazas de éxito durante el primer intento de intubación fueron mucho mejores, pero aún no hubo diferencia en sobrevivencia. Estudio #3: Efecto de la Estrategia de un Dispositivo Supraglótico versus Intubación Endotraqueal Durante el Paro Cardiaco Fuera del Hospital en Resultado Funcional (Estudio AIRWAYS-2) Como mencioné antes, no hubo diferencia en el retorno de circulación espontánea, o la sobrevivencia al egreso del hospital entre ambos grupos. ¿Esto me aplica a mi? Este estudio fue realizado por 1,500 paramédicos de 4 sistemas grandes de Inglaterra. Incluyó 9,896 pacientes dentro de una población de 21 millones. Fue hecho en una población metropolitana, en un sistema de alto volumen, por proveedores experimentados. No digan: "esto no me aplica porque yo intubo mejor". Este no fue un estudio doble-ciego. Los paramédicos sabían qué intervención iban a hacer porque fueron los paramédicos los que fueron aleatorizados, no los pacientes. Los paramédicos fueron instruídos y asignados a realizar una de dos intervenciones: colocar un i-gel, o un tubo endotraqueal. Sin embargo, tenían la opción de realizar una técnica alterna si entendían que era necesario o útil. Es decir, los paramédicos asignados a colocar el tubo i-gel podían decidir optar por intubar si entendían que era necesario. Vice versa, los paramédicos asignados a realizar la intubación endotraqueal podían optar por insertar un tubo supraglótico si era necesario. Esto provocó que muchos pacientes cruzaran de grupo asignado, especialmente los que estaban originalmente en el grupo de intubación. ¡Así es en la vida real! No se está comparando los dispositivos sino las estrategias Si no hay diferencia, puede optar por intubarlo. O, si el supraglótico es igual, pueden cambiar a lo "nuevo". Hay que buscar evidencia adicional que lo apoya. Hay que buscar entonces los resultados secundarios. Las tazas de éxito en ventilación inicial (primeros dos intentos de ventilación) fueron mayores en el grupo i-gel (87.4% vs. 69.4%) que los que fueron ventilados por tubo endotraqueal. Inclusive, la ventilación efectiva luego de los intentos a intubar fue de 70%. El resultado es el mismo y el i-gel fue más fácil y rápido en ser exitoso. Entonces, ¿cuál estrategia debemos usar? Ambas estrategias tienen el mismo resultado. La estrategia de usar un supraglótico es más probable de ser exitosa, es más probable que la uses, y los resultados no son peores. "Lo que haces es infinitamente más importante que cómo lo haces. La eficiencia es inútil a menos que se aplique a las cosas correctas. -Tim Ferriss Si usted decide que su estrategia de primera línea será la intubación endotraqueal, tiene que estar entrenado y al menos una vía aérea supraglótica adicional ya que hay pacientes que no van a poder ser intubables en la escena (9% según el estudio #2). Vice versa, si usted decide comenzar por una vía aérea supraglótica, tiene que tener en mente que algunos pacientes van a necesitar ser intubados (5.8% según el estudio #2). https://youtu.be/OM_um-6OydE En este otro podcast conversan con los autores del estudio y proveen la perspectiva directamente de la fuente: ¿Estudios que buscan no-inferioridad? Es importante recordar que el estudio, basado en el método científico, busca probar una hipótesis. La hipótesis se prueba o no. La hipótesis se describe con el objetivo de probar una de estas tres cosas: superioridad, equivalencia o no-inferioridad. Superioridad: Busca demostrar que una intervención es superior. Estadísticamente hablando, el hecho de que la superioridad no se pueda demostrar no significa que ambas intervenciones son equivalentes o que una es inferior. Equivalencia: Los tratamientos son comparables. No-Inferior: Buscan demostrar que el tratamiento no es inferior o peor que el control. En este artículo podrá encontrar una explicación de lo que es un estudio de no-inferioridad. https://youtu.be/ht7L-1lKBYs Conclusiones ILCOR ya ha expresado que el Advanced Life Support Task Force va a tomar estos estudios en consideración para formular una recomendación de cuál debe ser la estrategia inicial de manejo de la vía aérea dentro del contexto del paro cardiaco. La data que estamos viendo sugieren que si usted escoge la estrategia de usar una vía aérea supraglótica, el resultado de su paciente va a ser igual de bueno, o mejor, que si usted hubiese optado por colocar un tubo endotraqueal.

So we're back with September's papers of the month a little later than usual but we wanted to give you a little time to digest AIRWAYS-2... before we give you some more prehospital research on advanced airway management in cardiac arrest! The American version of AIRWAYS-2, PART, has just been released in JAMA, looking at the laryngeal tube versus endotracheal intubation as a primary strategy for advanced airway management. The paper is fascinating accompaniment to AIRWAYS-2. Next we have a look at a paper assessing Emergency Medicine clinicians' ability to predict hospital admission at the time of triage, should we be making early calls on the destination of our patients? Finally we have a look at the potential role of esmolol in cases of refractory VF and a paper that reports twice the survival rates in those that receive it! As always we strongly suggest you have a look at the papers yourself and come to your own conclusions. Make sure you check out the hyperlinked blogs below that we mention in the podcast that contain some fantastic critiques. We'd also love to hear any comments either at the foot of this page or on twitter to @TheResusRoom. Enjoy!

You've got a critically unwell patient who needs an RSI. You've got lots of things to think about but specifically do you ramp them up or keep them supine, additionally do you use a checklist or are those things a complete waste of time? This month we have a look at 2 papers which should shed some light on the subject. We also look at a systematic review and meta-analysis which hopefully helps us answer a question we've been looking at on the podcast for quite some time: in the the context of a cardiac arrest that has gained a ROSC, if the ECG is not diagnostic of a STEMI but the history is suggestive of a cardiac event, should the patient go straight to the cathlab for PCI? As always don't just take our word for it but go and have a look at the papers yourself and we would love to hear your thoughts. Enjoy!

  Each video larnygoscope model has its subtle quirks and troubleshooting techniques. The following techniques are useful when intubating with the Glidescope AVL: Consider a deliberately restricted laryngeal view to aid in tube placement. Do this by withdrawing the glidescope slightly. Verathon recommends that the glottic apperature should occupy the "upper 1/3 of the screen". Use the 1-4 step approach as per the Verathon official recommendations: see Verathon Glidescope Technique Video  Look at the mouth to introduce glidescope midline. Look at the screen to "obtain the best glottic view". Look at the mouth to introduce the ET tube. Look at the screen to pass the tube through the chords. Look at the patients mouth when initially inserting the ET tube into the mouth- not at the screen. Practice using VL! Try shifting the entire laryngoscope to the left to allow more room for insertion of the ET tube into the mouth.  When trying to pass the ET tube through the chords, hold the ET tube by the end furthest from the patients mouth. This will give you a longer lever arm. There is also a small grip on the Glidescope rigid stylet for this purpose; this grip can also be used to 'pop the stylet' when needed. Simply flick your thumb up.  Consider withdrawing the stylet 3-5 cm if having difficulty passing the tube through the chords. This will straighten the tip of the tube allowing it to follow the natural curve of the trachea.    For tip #3 I mention that you should be looking at the mouth while introducing the ET tube. During this, it is easier to slide the ET tube underneath the right sided flange that the glidescope has. This concept is illustrated in the Mgrath X blade below where this region is labeled as the "ET Contact Zone".       Thanks to all of our listeners around the world!
