About
In this 11 and half minute video, Dr. Thomas Mancuso and Dr. Traci Wolbrink discuss intubation scenarios in a pediatric intensive care unit, focusing on a 9-month-old with RSV bronchiolitis. The patient presents with respiratory distress, hypoxemia, and respiratory acidosis. The doctors prepare for endotracheal intubation, ensuring equipment readiness and medication selection. They prioritize preoxygenation, discuss medication choices (hypnotic and succinylcholine), and emphasize precautions for a full stomach and potential complications. The actual intubation process is carefully described, including medication administration, tube insertion, and post-intubation monitoring. The successful intubation concludes with securing the tube and planning for longer-term sedation.Tags
