TOTAL EM - Tools Of the Trade and Academic Learning in Emergency Medicine


Oct 4, 2016

We are back for the second half of our conversation with Jeff Jarvis.  If you missed the first half, go back and listen to Podcast #10 as it will make more sense.  We discussed his EMS system that only uses video laryngoscopy (VL) with intubation.  This is huge and unique with this group.  However, it was a process to find what was best for him and where he acts as a medical director.

In this part of the conversation, we talk about the benefits of VL and how he chose the King Vision.  He also reviews some of the protocols in place for their management of intubations in some unique settings including getting the tall device into the mouth during certain situations such as during cardiac arrest and  patients with a soiled airway.
