Threading a pediatric tube
-
through a gasping patient's vocal cord.
-
Talk us through the excitement, doctor, would you?
-
Uh, Ellen Coolidge... the 42-year-old female
-
brought in unconscious following a vehicular rollover.
-
She was unresponsive to pain. Her pulse was 100 and dropping.
-
Her O2 sat was 90 on 100%.
-
A decision was made to intubate her
-
after we ascertained that her lungs were okay.
-
And how did that intubation go?
-
Terribly at first.
-
I couldn't visualize her cords,
