Following some discussion on who owns the airway (see the comments at the post Paralytic is the answer on EMPills Blog)
Have to admit: I’m an occasional intubator.
I manage something like 10 airways per month, all of them are “non conventional”, (no operating room, no chance to wake the patient, no chance to call an expert), and usually I have no time to evalute any of common indicators to predict difficult airway (time is often a rare issue in ground or air prehospital scenarios).
Half of the airway I manage are CRASH, half needs an RSI, so, shame on me, I’m also an occasional “paralytic agents user”.
So I desperatley need a plan
But lissen, I got one!
