Dr John Hinds debating in favour of the use of direct laryngoscopy in the prehospital setting at SMACCFORCE 2015 in Chicago, USA. From: ragepodcast.com...
Sorry, am I missing something here? Since when does laryngoscopy require a defense? Is this not the staple in intubation? Who DOESNT use a laryngoscope? I dont get what the debate is. How else do you intubate someone?
What he's talking about is the use of traditional, (possibly bimanual) direct laryngoscopy with a blade, handle and light as opposed to video or fiberoptic laryngoscopy, which is why he dumps the video laryngoscope in a bucket of water towards the start of the video. Obviously using *some kind* of laryngoscope is probably a good idea :)
Watch the video David. This is traditional laryngoscopy (good, almost 100% success rate) vs. video assisted laryngoscopy (flawed) in the prehospital setting. Nobody's saying you can't use the usual methods of intubation. Depends if you're in the resus bay or on the roadside.
@@emlix1 but wouldnt a videolaryngoscope with a standard blade be best as you can also use it for direct laryngoscopy? I mean of course it would be best if everyone was good enough for DL, but for the inexperienced VL seems to have a significantly higher succes rate
What a fantastic presentation and what a sad loss to both medicine and Road Racing.
The good doctor demonstrating some common sense. The problem is that in every field, it is just not that common. A very sad loss for Irish medicine.
a loss for medicine
Dr. Hinds you will be missed.
coolest doctor
ever
RIP
As a doctor I'm forced to agree.
He must have been great fun to work with 🙂
