Awake intubation remains an important tool for predicted difficult airways. This Annals study found high success and low serious complication rates in a real-world emergency department. #EmergencyMedicine #Airway #AnnalsEM

#CCR23: In the DEVICE trial, the use of video laryngoscopy in critically ill patients undergoing intubation in the ED or ICU resulted in a higher incidence of successful intubation on the first attempt than direct laryngoscopy. nej.md/43H2t79

For Ace inhibitor-induced angioedema should we be doing steroids/epi/antihistamines?
What about FFP?
TXA?
Icatibant?
Ecallantide?
C1 esterase?
What ACTUALLY works? Dr. Murray has our answers:

We often talk about performing awake intubations in the ED, but there are some nuances in the actual process to consider.
Dr. Nicholas Choi has a great approach to increase your procedural comfort, with some insights from @ParxEM and @airwaycam

Historically, we have approached angioedema the same way we do anaphylaxis, out of a paucity of evidence.
Dr. Murray takes a deep dive into ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema, and gives us the best evidence-based wisdom on approaching these patients:

🔐Avoidance of facemask ventilation before tracheal intubation or supraglottic airway insertion, due to concerns around aerosols, is not supported.

#Paramedics:
⚠️ Stop running out of #resus rooms immediately after handover!
Introduce yourself, ask if you can stay a while to observe & learn.
Engage the team lead and ask meaningful questions when it’s appropriate.
Offer help & get in there!
Best. Learning. Environment!

What a blast having the opportunity to teach some #SALAD 🥗 with @AKHallMD this AM. Many thanks to @emergmedottawa and @uOSSC_CCSuO for hosting, community docs & colleagues for attending, and @ParxEM for doing the hard work of putting together our #SALAD trainer! #MedEd #sim
The maiden voyage of our new soiled airway sim🤢🤮
My 2021 resolution is to enjoy more #SALAD's 😉

This editorial mischaracterizes the results of my soiled airway paper in @AcademicEmerMed. The GlideScope and DL did NOT in fact have equivalent FPS in the soiled airway. In the soiled airway GVL FPS = 81.4% and DL FPS = 65.5%.

Hot off the press from our research group in @NEJM.
No difference between dobutamine and milrinone in cardiogenic shock. Kudos to @benhibbertMDPhD and @rebeccamathewmd for this important work
Proud to announce the publication of CAPITAL DOREMI in @NEJM - a comparison of milrinone and dobutamine in cardiogenic shock. Contrary to the hypothesis milrinone was not superior to dobutamine in this randomized double blind comparison. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
