    You could also use patient's saliva for lubrication if you don't have any.

    1:13 Should you tilt the head back that far in positioning? Wouldn't it cut off airway?

    • @IdahoMedicalAcademy
      @IdahoMedicalAcademy  11 місяців тому +1

      We are trying to put the patient into what's called the "sniffing position" where the line of the ear meets the sternal notch (think someone smelling a cup of coffee in the morning). The position Cody puts the patient in here may be a bit beyond that, but should not be detrimental to airway management.

    17:15 Is tracheal intubation with laryngoscope allowed for AEMT? Or only Paramedic can provide it?

    • @IdahoMedicalAcademy
      @IdahoMedicalAcademy  Рік тому +1

      Endotracheal intubation is generally a Paramedic level skill, though some protocols will allow other EMS providers to perform the procedure.

    When placing an LMAO, and the basic EMT is delivering o2 to the patient, should an OPA be present to keep the tongue of the way

      LMA*

    • @IdahoMedicalAcademy
      @IdahoMedicalAcademy  6 місяців тому

      It would be best practice to keep an OPA in place during preoxygenation when preparing to place an SGA, including an LMA. The OPA should be removed prior to placement of the LMA.

    Does anybody still use LMAs anymore? It's all Kings, iGel, or intubation that I've observed.

    • @IdahoMedicalAcademy
      @IdahoMedicalAcademy  Місяць тому

      The local EMS service here in Boise changed from Kings to LMA's a few years ago. The iGel is prevalent in the PNW as well.
