This season is about airway management or airways that scare me and this episode, we discuss the respiratory unstable patient or the patient who's a "physiologically difficult airway" because they have bad lungs. We were incredibly lucky to have the amazing Robi Khemani from CHLA, a world expert on respiratory disorders in #pedsICU, join us and be able to share his thoughts.
It's not just about putting the tube in, it's about that whole high risk period of peri intubation. And with better drugs and devices we've opened a big space between low flow oxygen and invasive ventilation which makes decision making trickier.
Here we focus on that difficult decision making and the patients that really scare us. If you haven't heard it yet, our previous episode on team, environment, and equipment is very relevant here.
Featuring special guest Robinder Khemani from Children's Hospital LA and regular hosts @drpetaalexander @BostonChildrens @drgregkelly @SCHNkids and @Karen_Choong @MCH_childrens
