One of the most basic skills an Air Methods team member should have is knowing how to intubate properly. Understanding how to do that properly is a prerequisite for the job. But knowing when to intubate, and in the particular case of this month's patient, knowing when NOT to intubate is most crucial. Our team is tasked with transferring our patient Myles who was experiencing acute respiratory distress, but in their assessment determined that despite his severe symptoms, intubating and paralyzing him could likely lead to even worse outcomes. Listen in as we hear from not only our team, but our patient, as they describe the unusual and voluminous symptoms, which are unusual for a 33 year-old. How did they make their determinations? What does Myles remember? And what has the road to recovery been like for Myles? You're not going to believe everything he's been through. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?
