This is part 1/3 in our subclavian central line series. First we discuss the blind approach and see this excellent video on the procedure. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiWi9bi16HuAhXBQc0KHfqwCY4QFjAMegQIAxAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fjomi.com%2Farticle%2F290.14%2FBlind-Technique-for-Subclavian-Central-Line-Placement&usg=AOvVaw1GYu3SgBKI4_a-SQGWlz_p https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd...
The retrograde intubation! An oldy but goody and a nice trick to keep in your back pocket. 1. Prep the neck 2. Identify the anatomy and your Cricothyroid membrane 3. Introduce your needle with syringe attached through cricothyroid membrane in a cranial (cephalad) direction. Withdraw plunger and confirm position with whisp of air in syringe (can have saline in syringe to look for bubbles). 4. Pass wire through needle until operator at the head retrieves it with forceps. Continue passing the wire ...
Part 4 of 4! Things we talk about: 1. Reinforce safety, never have your finger in the same hole as a scalpel. 2. Extend your incision from sternal notch to hyoid bone (in the midline) if anatomy is not palpable. 3. Be wary of previous front of the neck surgical scars! 4. The wired jaw airway emergency. See below 5. Nasotracheal intubation and fiberoptic techniques. Check out this reference on steps and pictures of cutting the vertical fixation wires: http://sjrhem.ca/wiredjaw/ Article on nasotra...
This is part 3 of 4 in the surgical airway series. We discuss pitfalls including entering a false passage with the bougie. Watch the below video from EMCrit, George Kovacs, as I referenced in the podcast demonstrates that “hold up” is possible in a false passage. All credit goes to Dr. Weingart, Dr. Kovacs and all the brilliant airway gurus for continuing to teach and perfect these techniques. Enjoy https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=&cad=rja&...
This is part 2 of 4 in a our surgical airway series. Below are some good videos on the proper approach and technique. Credit goes to Scott Weingart, my RLA professor and the host of EMCrit podcast as this technique was adopted from his teaching. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjm0fHdxqHuAhXVK80KHWG2AosQwqsBMAB6BAgOEAM&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DQ0RVlgwC9rs&usg= https://www.google.com/url? sa=t&rct=...

In this 5 minute bit, we discuss scenario based pressor selection, vasopressors to choose in the face of RV failure or pulmonary hypertension, and peripheral vasopressors. Below you will find evidence related articles on vasopressin and dobutamine effect on pulmonary vascular resistance, safety profile of peripheral pressors and an interesting article about using midline catheters as an alternative to central lines for vasopressor administration (not prime time yet). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih....
In this 5 minute bit we discuss Phenylephrine, Angiotensin II, Dobutamine and Milrinone. Please see attached evidence related to our topic: *Just to clarify , dobutamine and milrinone can both be used for right ventricular systolic failure but there is some evidence that milrinone may provide better pulmonary vascular afterload reduction than dobutamine. NO MILRINONE IN RENAL FAILURE. MILRINONE IS LONG ACTING. *Just to clarify , Angiotensin II data was not solely tested against placebo. The actu...
