11. The Physiologically Difficult Airway

Airway management in the critically ill can be one of the most challenging, stressful and rewarding elements of critical care medicine. While the anatomically challenging airway is often the first place our minds go when discussing difficult airways, the physiologically difficult airway is both more common and often requires more savvy to overcome. Join Cyrus & Nick as they take a pragmatic, case-based approach to this topic with the hopes of equipping you with the tools you need to successfully take a physiologically difficult airway, or support an airway operator charged with this task!

I really appreciate the talk on different induction medications and reasons when to and not to use them. I also didn't comprehend the amount of considerations taken when intubating a physiologically "complex" airway before watching this episode. Very informative. Thank you!

You don't wanna infuse LR in cirrhosis.
Other than that - fantastic!
