Airway Management and the Glidescope

I am getting ready for the MedicCast Live coming up on Tuesday night (10 PM ET). Along with Rick Russotti from the Mitigation Journal and our other panelists, we’ll be discussing some of our picks for the top product in EMS innovation at this year’s EMS Today Expo in Baltimore last month. I’ve been checking out the EMS blogs I read and found this over at the MacMedic’s blog.

He was working in his local ED recently and got a chance to assist with an intubation of a drug overdose patient who came in with a need for airway management. The hospital had just gotten a Glidescope in and the doc used it to place the tube. Check out MacMedic’s post for a great review of the Glidescope with pros and cons listed.

I picked the Glidescope Ranger for one of my Expo picks and I’ll be interested to hear any impressions from the live audience about that and the other products we have chosen this year.
