In this episode of the FlightCrit Podcast we chat with Dr. David Convissar, Critical Care and Cardiothoracic Anesthesiologist, from "Count Backwards from 10" about his approach to managing the airway of the crashing heart failure patient. Hang on as Dr. Convissar shares with us his knowledge about:
- Differentiate between cardiogenic shock and distributive shock based on assessment findings.
- Describe Pulse Pressure and explain how it can be used to assess a patient in cardiogenic shock.
- Provide appropriate preintubation resuscitation to a patient in cardiogenic shock.
- Explain why Sodium Bicarb and Calcium can be beneficial preintubation medications for the patient in cardiogenic shock.
- Recognize the physiologic effects of hypoxia during intubation on the lungs and describe how this can complicate the hemodynamics of patients with heart failure.
