High-Yield Critical Care: Invasive Airway (Endotracheal Intubation, Cricothyrotomy, Tracheostomy: Indications & Casees)
10:47 Share

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).
