Podcast 104 - Are they resuscitated enough for intubation?

Published: Sept. 27, 2020, 1:30 a.m.

We commonly hear the phrase\xa0"resuscitate before you intubate." My question is - how do you know when your patient is resuscitated enough to follow through with intubation?

Last weekend I gave a talk at EMSWorld called "The Sound of Silence." At the end of the talk Sam and I had a discussion on how do you know when a patient is resuscitated enough to allow intubation. In true Tyler fashion, I misread how long my talk was suppose to be and had to cut out the ending. This is the discussion portion of that talk and I think you will especially enjoy the ending.
