We made a 2 min mini-episode of @CritCareTime demonstrating the steps for an emergency front of neck airway (eFONA). Let us know what you think and if you want more of this content! Thx to the @TheAirwaySite for letting us film at the difficult airway course!

Our latest episode with Dr. Jarrod Mosier explores the principles that guide safer airway management in physiologically difficult patients. 🎧 Watch the full episode. youtube.com/watch?v=wsmPmL…

High-stakes procedures demand simple, reproducible steps. When every second matters, a clear mental model can make all the difference. This eFONA demonstration, walks through the scalpel-bougie technique step by step, from landmark identification to tube placement. 🎥

In our latest episode, we’re joined by Jarrod Mosier to explain how patient physiology guides airway decisions, from identifying apnea intolerance to selecting the safest intubation strategy. Watch the full episode on YouTube.👇️ youtube.com/watch?v=wsmPmL…

Every Airway Has Two Challenges One is getting the tube into the trachea. The other is protecting the patient's physiology. The best airway plans account for both.

The Biggest Airway Mistake Happens Before The Laryngoscope Every airway begins with a decision. That decision shapes everything that follows. Here's the framework behind safer airway management. 🧵

Want to understand the reasoning behind this framework? In our latest episode, Dr. Jarrod Mosier shares a practical framework for managing physiologically difficult airways. 🎧 Watch the full episode. youtube.com/watch?v=wsmPmL…

Many airway algorithms start with equipment. This one starts with physiology. Before choosing a device or technique, determine whether your patient can maintain oxygenation. That single assessment guides the rest of the airway plan. Here's a practical framework to help.

Some patients have seconds before they deteriorate. Recognizing them changes your airway plan. In our latest episode, Dr. Jarrod Mosier explains how apnea tolerance shapes airway strategy. [Episode Link👇️ ]

What’s the correct heart rate in the image above?

Whenever you see different heart rate values for ECG (🟩) and pulse ox (🟦) You need to look closely at the ECG and pleth to figure out which is accurate. An art line can help too. In this case the ECG is over counting by 3:1.

Being able to accurately interpret an ICU monitor like this is an essential skill. Let’s start with a basic question: what’s the HR?

As a mentor, nothing makes me happier than getting a quick update email/text out of the blue. It doesn't have to be epic. It could be as simple as "passed step 1" or "loving my surgery rotation" or "applying in cards." It's great hearing from people you've helped along the way!
