Podcast appearances and mentions of richard levitan

Evelyn Farkas, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, and Nina Khrushcheva, Professor of International Affairs at The New School, join Christiane Amanpour to discuss the protests in Russia against the detention of opposition leader Alexey Navalny, and how the Biden administration should respond. Then, climatologist and author Michael Mann breaks down how the fossil fuel industry is encouraging climate inaction and discusses his latest book, "The New Climate War". Our Hari Sreenivasan talks to Dr Richard Levitan and Dr Nicholas Caputo, two ER physicians, about how pulse oximetry is crucial to managing the ongoing pandemic.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Returned guest, Dr. Richard Levitan, an airway specialist who has practiced emergency medicine for over 30 years, and co-founder and executive director of Prone2Help, a national 501c3 non-profit organization, discusses pulse oximetry and how it can help in the early diagnosis of COVID-19 because some patients with COVID don't experience respiratory distress even though their "xrays showed diffuse pneumonia and their oxygen was below normal." Dr. Richard Levitan was in the first class of Emergency Medicine residents at Bellevue Hospital (1990-1994), and subsequently worked in academic, high-volume, inner-city trauma hospitals in NYC and Philadelphia for 25 years (Bellevue, Lincoln, Penn, Einstein, Jefferson). Starting in 2012 he began working in rural, critical care access hospitals. He now balances this clinical activity with teaching courses, speaking engagements, and device development. In addition to the Airway Cam (1994), his inventions include the Levitan FPS optical stylet (Clarus Medical), the Control Cric (Pulmodyne Inc.), and the Universal Stylet Bougie (USB, Intersurgical Ltd.). He has been involved in numerous device development projects with various manufacturers. He did early design testing and wrote the first published paper on the I-gel supraglottic airway. Dr. Levitan has designed and built his own unique intubation manikins (with anatomic variation) for teaching laryngoscopy (the Airway Training Series), as well as a unique anatomically correct surgical model (The Airway Cam Surgical Trainer), which uses an inexpensive three-layer skin analogue. He has published extensively on laryngoscopy and airway management, and holds an Adjunct Professor appointment at Dartmouth (Geisel) School of Medicine, as well as a Visiting Professor appointment at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

Dr. Richard Levitan, an airway specialist who has practiced emergency medicine for over 30 years, and co-founder and executive director of Prone2Help, a national 501c3 non-profit organization, discusses proning and how it has positively impacted patients with COVID-19, the need for proning cushions in the U.S., and how others can help support the cause.

With the number of coronavirus cases in the United States now standing at over 1 million the nation is struggling economically. Tim Phillips, president of Koch-backed group Americans for Prosperity, joins Christiane Amanpour to argue why we shouldn't bail out the states. He explains why the economy needs the be reopened slowly state by state. Michael Specter, staff writer at The New Yorker and professor of bioengineering at Stanford University, gives an insight into the man behind the White House's coronavirus responded: Dr Anthony Fauci. He says Fauci changed medicine in the United States. Then our Hari Sreenivasan speaks to Richard Levitan, emergency physician at Littletown Reigonal Healthcare, about why Covid-19 patients should be going to hospitals sooner. Levitan has worked in medicine for over thirty years and when the outbreak began to overwhelm New York City in March he signed up to help Bellevue Hospital; he reveals what he learned on the front lines.

'Pneumonia silenciosa' dificulta diagnóstico de casos graves da COVID-19 intriga médicos e foi por isso que o médico Richard Levitan notou algo estranho quando atendia pacientes com COVID-19 no Hospital Bellevue, em Nova York. Muitos deles, apesar de terem pneumonia e uma oxigenação no sangue abaixo do normal, não tinham problemas para respirar, algo incomum em pacientes nestas condições. Em um artigo publicado no jornal The New York Times, ele relata vários casos de pacientes internados por outras razões — como acidentes ou vítimas de esfaqueamento — em que só foi descoberto que tinham COVID-19 após tomografias ou raios-X realizados para verificar se houve estrago em órgãos internos. Neste episódio conversamos com o médico pneumologista, Marcio Avila para tentar entender este comportamento da doença.

Current estimates of the prevalence of obesity are that a quarter of adult Canadians and one third of Americans are considered obese with approximately 3% being morbidly obese. With the proportion of patients with a BMI>30 growing every year, you're likely to manage at least one obese patient on every ED shift. Obese patients are at high risk of developing a host of medical complications including diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, biliary disease, sleep apnea, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary embolism and depression, and are less likely compared to non-obese adults to receive timely care in the ED. Not only are these patients at higher risk for morbidity and mortality, but obesity emergency management is complicated by the patient's altered cardiopulmonary physiology and drug metabolism. This can make their acute management much more challenging and dangerous. To help us gain a deeper understanding of the challenges of managing obese patients and elucidate a number of important differences as well as practical approaches to obesity emergency management, we welcome Dr. Andrew Sloas, the founder and creator of the fantastic pediatric EM podcast PEM ED, Dr. Richard Levitan, a world-famous airway management educator and innovator and Dr. David Barbic a prominent Canadian researcher in obesity in emergency medicine from University of British Columbia....

I caught up with airway educator, innovator and self-described enthusiast Dr. Richard Levitan at SMACC in Chicago this past June. In this Best Case Ever on Airway Strategy and Mental Preparedness in EM Procedures, Dr. Levitan uses a great save of his in a penetrating trauma case as a basis for discussion on mental preparedness and how we've been thinking about our general approach to emergency procedures the wrong way. Rather than fixating on the final goal of a procedure, which can often be daunting and lead us astray, he suggests a methodical incrementalized and compartmentalized approach to EM procedures that reduces stress and fear, improves confidence and enhances success. He runs through several examples including intubation, cricothyrotomy and initial approach to hypoxia to explain his Simple Incremental Approach to EM Procedures. Could this be a paradigm shift in the way we think about procedures in EM?....

Richard Levitan on 'conquering the fear'. Tips and tricks for emergent paediatric airways.

O's in the Nose. Richard Levitan's tips and tricks for optimising the nasopharynx as part of your airway management.

The mental game. Richard Levitan on how our approach to the difficult airway benefits from planning and introspective affirmation.

Richard Levitan is widely regarded as the global master of the emergency airway.  And he's keynoting at SMACC GOLD. He was recently in Sydney, teaching on a cadaveric airways course with John Vassiliadis (of Simwars fame and mastermind behind EDWISE).  Rich talks about his global travels, his airways courses and his exciting new emergency surgical airway kit. John tells us about EDWISE, simulation and why he's pumped for SMACC GOLD. Harris provides entertainment whilst the hype for SMACC GOLD starts to swell.

A week ago, I posted an airway review paper by Scott Weingart and Richard Levitan that I think is a must read. Today I decided to do a podcast reviewing the paper in order to really get it out there and talk about the major points. The best part of the paper is the description of the NO DESAT technique which virtually eliminates hypoxia during RSI and will make your next intubation a lot easier. While this podcast is a lot more advanced than the usual "basic" topics that I usually talk about, its important to know about these techniques. My 0.02- they will become the new standard of care in the near future but you can hear about them now.
