Topic: Prehospital Advanced Airway Placement and Cardiac Arrest: Media Management
Location: Dr. Jackson's house
Residents discussed the pros and cons to prehospital advanced airway placement in the literature and determined that with appropriate training, it can be beneficial, but if BLS skills are sacrificed for airway placement, it can be detrimental. PAEMS is currently working with local agencies to increase training opportunities for intubation to improve success rates for intubation in appropriate situations. Dr. Jackson then gave a lecture on skills for interacting with media as an EMS Medical Director.
