Queen_Of_Rockers Rocks having been through that at a very young age myself I can say with certainty that he was absolutely scared. Wish my docs were as patient! I remember being strapped down and having that mask forcefully held down over my mouth and nose! One of the most traumatic incidents of my early childhood!
I love the intense emergency medicine in this chanel especially since I plan on become a trauma surgeon, but this is great too. The way they calmed him and affirmed him is so wholesome. I might only be a sophmore in highschool but I've spent my whole life studying and being fascinated by medicine, and the emotional part of the healing can sometimes hit me harder than the physical❤❤
Aww, how sweet. That little one was so upset but seeing the Doc holding him, & trying to distract him with a cartoon, was so caring. I always wonder why medical folks always tell a patient, “You’re OK, you’re OK”, when clearly the patient is not OK. The patient is crying maybe because they’re scared or responding to pain because they are not OK. Now, the patient may be OK medically speaking but from the patient’s perspective things are not OK & being told, “You’re OK”, seems so dismissive & I can’t imagine it helps calm or comfort the patient one iota. To me saying, “I know.....you’re scared/this hurts. You’re safe/we’re here to help you/hang on we’re nearly done” all seem way more comforting & acknowledges what the patient is trying to say.
No paralysis, only propofol, no playing around with padding under the shoulders to align axis, simple 5 second look and intubation...pretty impressive, huh.
@@lmellick I think technically the paralysis was obtained by the high sevo-concentration :p And they charmingly cut out the "rough parts" of a sevo induction :p
Aww don't cry little guy I know that these people love you trust me I've had the best nurses like I was one of there oun child some doctors are nice some are not
May I ask a favour? Can you please turn down the music next time so we can better hear what the staff is saying? Apart from that, I very much enjoy your videos. 🙂
Was that a cuffless ET? Whats the benefit of a cuffless in the peds pt? You would think every intubation would warrant a cuffed tube just for seal and stability...
Donna Woodman this may be a really dumb question... but I don’t have any experience with in-hospital advanced monitoring machines (I have my trusty lifepak tho!) what is the significance of this “lower tone” on the monitor ... where the beeps seem to get quieter?
@@Oliver-st7ky if the monitor starts beeping in a lower key or pitch it means the oxygen level in the blood is dropping. If the key or pitch rises, the oxygen level is rising. You can't beat 100% oxygen in the blood. A small decrease is ok, as long as the blood oxygen saturation doesn't drop below 90%. If the number falls below a set limit, the monitor will make a loud repetitive DINGing noise until the number goes back up or the alarm is silenced. Same for vital signs monitoring for sedation in a dental office.
Ian Shelton thank you so much! I just wasn’t certain if the PT was desating or if cardiac output was decreasing or what not. And how that correlates to the sounds of the advanced monitoring equipment. :)
That intubation was unbelievably smooth! Holy smokes. Impressive team of skilled providers.
I know right! I had to rewind, it was so perfect.
So smooth, had to rewind too!
Yes it was!
They're experienced.
The man that was holding the young child seemed so kind and sweet poor little guy was probably scared I kind of want to cry

Jayknee Garner awwww sad. Hope you’re doing well
@@jaykneegarner2479 I understand you were scared, but it's best to get on with the job. Why draw it out? That mask was blowing gas to knock you out.
Dr. Mellick showing the other side of medicine no one gets to see, thank you so much for this. 3rd year resident from UW💪
You are welcome!!
Another masterpiece! Thank you Dr. Mellick! Paramedic student here :)
You are welcome!!
a display of compassion, confidence and competence. Thank you for the great work that you do

The anesthesiologist has the magic touch!!❤
Great job by an expert team. Anesteaia proves yet again that they're far more than just slamming drugs all day.
You can always tell when someone is a parent 😢
They were wonderful with him. Thank god for doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists and all our fantastic healthcare workers!!
What a wonderful video showing the amazing care and compassion health care professionals give. Thank you for sharing this.
How beautiful,these professionals were to this little guy,I was nearly in tears myself ♥️
The music drowns out the conversation.
I loved whenever I had to chance to work with babies/children.
The placement of that ET tube was SOOOO SMOOTH! A lot of experiences and skill right there
That smooth intubation. Can't wait to be treating patients. Thank you Dr. Mellick.
Me too! Planning to attend havard extension school for my post bacc then Emory medical school. Are you a resident?
@@highlyfavored2434 no, I am applying for med school soon but I work in critical care. Best wishes to you.
the music added....done. Pediatrics is in my heart
Excellent!!Congrats to the whole team the patient and the parents!!
Wow, thank you so much for this video! I'm in school for CST and am looking forward to working in pediatrics!!

Appreciate your insights very much. Very helpful.

Um, i just saw a vid with a girl with a crochet hook removed from her mouth, was she sedated through an IV before you got the hook out?
@@pico5669 Yes
wish him the best recovery
Cool. Awesome video as always👍👍👍👍
Dr Mellick: Is it unusual to have such a quick ET tube insertion? Seemed so easy. Was it done under visualization?
No paralysis, only propofol, no playing around with padding under the shoulders to align axis, simple 5 second look and intubation...pretty impressive, huh.
@@lmellick at first they inhale sevoflurane(inhalation induction)then find a vein and then iv drugs
@@lmellick I think technically the paralysis was obtained by the high sevo-concentration :p And they charmingly cut out the "rough parts" of a sevo induction :p
@@lmellick they do it all day everyday ;)

Awww. They were so sweet. Must’ve been terrifying for the little guy.

That little guy is so cute
Slick Rick dropping the tube
Little guy's in good hands!
Was that a cuffless ET? Whats the benefit of a cuffless in the peds pt? You would think every intubation would warrant a cuffed tube just for seal and stability...
No, that was a cuffed tube.
God bless all of you.
who in their right mind knocks someone out in theatre gees havent you heard of an annestic room
I know it’s going to be ok but I get a little freaked out when the monitor sounds get a littler lower sounding. 😬
