Protect Me! "Flights" #4 Recap
Welcome to the Final Recap of our “Flights” Case Series!
Thanks to all those who participated in the discussion and to those who tuned into the “Flights” cases throughout the spring and summer. The final "Flights" cases centered in on several challenging airway scenarios. Penetrating neck trauma with a tracheal injury; GSW to the face with significantly altered anatomy; and a tracheostomy displaced and a patient with critical hypoxia - airway management in the field requires a nimble mind and knowledge of one's own equipment. Take a look at our thoughts on the cases and see what you might do in similar situations.
