A NEXTGEN LEARNING SPACE DESIGNED TO ELEVATE YOUR AIRWAY PRACTICE
Learn about the important concept of safe apnea time
Introduction
Intubation requires that the flow of oxygen to the lungs be temporarily halted while that tube is delivered.
The ability to “fill the tank” of the lungs as a reservoir, and thus provide safe apnea time is critical.

“Extending the safe apnoea time merely delays critical desaturation and provides time to implement the definitive airway strategy that will ultimately prevent/reverse desaturation. It is thus an adjunct, not an alternative, to restoring alveolar oxygen delivery.” – Nicholas Chrimes
No one provides a more thorough discussion of safe apnea time than Nicholas Chrimes, creator of the Vortex Approach. Read more here, then add him to your social learning network.
