NextGen Learning To Elevate Your Airway Practice
Introduction

AUDIO INTRO – COMING SOON
In this space, we review an approach to intubation in cardiac arrest care that will improve your FPS and minimize the interruption of CPR. Because getting it right the first time is also the fastest and safest way to intubate.

Potential Benefits of an Endotracheal Tube
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to airway management. While focusing on high-quality chest compressions with minimal interruptions (rather than intubation) is the goal during cardiac arrest, there are still times when endotracheal tube placement is beneficial or even preferred over other options, particularly during prolonged cardiac arrest resuscitation.
Clinical Pearl
The Importance of First Pass Success
So you want to minimize interruption of chest compressions, free up team members, be able to move on to other tasks, and continue the resuscitation by placing a definitive airway? The best way to do that is to optimize your likelihood of first-pass success (FPS).
Getting it right the first time will reduce stress (in you), improve patient outcomes, avoid complications, and allow you to get on with the resuscitation.
Optimize Your Technique
Improve First Pass Success
Intubating quickly and efficiently the first time is the easiest way to minimize interruptions to active chest compressions. Here are the five we think are most valuable.
