Endotracheal intubation skill acquisition by medical students
BACKGROUND During the course of their training, medical students may receive introductory experience with advanced resuscitation skills. Endotracheal intubation (ETI--the insertion of a breathing tube into the trachea) is an example of an important advanced resuscitation intervention. Only limited data characterize clinical ETI skill acquisition by medical students. We sought to characterize me...
متن کاملTooth aspiration following emergency endotracheal intubation
Tooth aspiration in adults during endotracheal intubation is very rare. There are several risk factors for this rare event such as old age, loose teeth, difficult intubation etc. which predispose patients for tooth aspiration in tracheobronchial tree in emergent endotracheal intubation. Although extraction of aspirated tooth with flexible bronchoscopy is a difficult and complex intervention, it...
متن کاملTracheal rupture after emergency endotracheal intubation
A 60-year-old woman presented to the emergency department (ED) of a suburban hospital with complaints of cough, fever, and dyspnea. She had a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic steroid therapy. At presentation, she was in severe respiratory distress. Orotracheal intubation was decided due to persistence of severe hypoxia and hypercapnia with deterioration of con...
متن کاملEndotracheal intubation in mice via direct laryngoscopy using an otoscope.
Mice, both wildtype and transgenic, are the principal mammalian model in biomedical research currently. Intubation and mechanical ventilation are necessary for whole animal experiments that require surgery under deep anesthesia or measurements of lung function. Tracheostomy has been the standard for intubating the airway in these mice to allow mechanical ventilation. Orotracheal intubation has ...
متن کاملDoes Medical Emergency Team Intervention Reduce the Prevalence of Emergency Endotracheal Intubation Complications?
PURPOSE Emergency endotracheal intubation (EEI) is a complex process that leads to various complications. Previous studies mainly demonstrated that the Medical Emergency Team (MET) intervention reduced the incidence of cardiac arrest, however, the impact of a MET on airway management has not been investigated in detail. Our purpose was to confirm the impact of a MET on airway management and com...
