How do you approach intubating a neurologically injured patient when every second counts? In this lecture from the recent ResusEM7 (see the link below for more lectures), Dr. Richard Byrne lays out his top strategies for optimizing intubation in patients with brain injuries.
He breaks down the critical role of oxygen and CO2 management, shares the best practices for medication choices, and reveals why positioning matters more than you might think. If you've ever faced the pressure of managing a complex airway, this lecture is packed with life-saving insights you can't afford to miss!
