…I’ve never learned how to drive a manual transmission.
I’m 43 years old, and I’m the only person in my family who doesn’t know how to drive a manual transmission.
I *AM* the only person in my family who knows how to intubate a person, though!

Fortunately a whistleblower made that instruction public (hopefully before it was acted on!) and it went away.

He presented with severe abdominal pain 24 hours after treatment, & fever. Despite symptomatic treatment the situation worsened and he developed respiratory distress and cyanosis (blue tint due to reduced oxygen levels). Despite efforts to intubate and tread the patients died 81 hours post treatment

Your ALF patient is agitated. Do you chase sedation or intubate early?

These patients spiral fast, and early intubation doubles as ICP control. What's your threshold at the bedside? Drop your approach below.

Had a call recently that made me reflect on the absurdity of what we're asked to do in EMS. Infant drowning, found upside down in five gallon bucket (she survived and fully recovered). Pale, cold, and wasn't crying. Bulb suction, leg bounces and back blows to clear her airway, prep to intubate...

When should you intubate before you resuscitate?
-Dynamic anatomical airways can rapidly progress to unintubateable
-Move rapidly to intubate before you’re only fix is a surgical airway
-Examples: angioedema, anaphylaxis, expanding neck hematomas

Apparently I had a grand mal seizure in ED and they ended up having to intubate me. Hence why I ended up in the ICU.
They found my partner a couple hours later and the cop who found him had to do CPR because he wasn't breathing. He strangled himself with the car seatbelt...

Oh, that's funny.
My reply about beading got me added to somebody's Do Not Intubate list.
Any idea what that purplish stain is on the strap and the bottom?

Turns out, I love power tools? I should have realized sooner because I use a glidescope to intubate people every day because I am lazy.
