From #SMACC2019 Vic Brazil, Eve Purdy, Jenny Rudolph, Chris Hicks, Simon Carley & Jenny Vaughan discuss learning and culture in healthcare. Simulation is a great learning tool but how do we organise simulation activities when we are resource and time poor? How do we translate learnings from Sim into the real world, when the stakes and stress levels are high? How do we encourage junior staff to be honest with their feedback? How do we set a culture that promotes an open learning environment? The fastest way to discourage feedback is to ask people to be honest but do nothing about it. Tune in to a discussion on learning and culture in healthcare from our stellar panel. For more head to: codachange.org/podcasts

David Anderson describes the current state of play with airway management in the prehospital setting. There are important differences between airway management in the prehospital environment and airway management in hospital. Prehospital intubation has been practiced for over 50 years and continues to evolve, with many techniques and procedures devised from prehospital use finding their way into ED and ICU practice. The main indications for prehospital intubation are cardiac arrest and severe TBI. 3 large studies show no evidence to support prehospital intubation in cardiac arrest and this practice should probably be reserved for specific cases. Prehospital RSI for TBI remains controversial as the evidence available to date is conflicting and isn’t high quality. While scene time if often commented on, there is no evidence available prehospital RSI increases time to CT or OR for patients with a severe TBI. There is no evidence that any one craft group is better at intubation than any other. In order to make prehospital airway management as safe as possible, innovations such as checklists, kit dumps and pre-drawn syringes are common. Many prehospital services invest much more heavily in the training and maintenance of airway skills than in-hospital specialties.

Prehospital airway management

Adam Rehak and Gerri Khong walk through the good, the bad and the ugly of human factors in airway management. Using video footage of a highly realistic (tachycardia inducing) simulated airway emergency, the multi-stage case discussion canvases both audience responses and the input of a panel of human factors experts: David Brewster, Brooke Dench, Ben Meadley and Ian Summers, to illustrate that airway management is far more than just a technical skill. Instead, it will become clear that success is equally dependent on careful preparation, coordinated teamwork, precise communication and effective cognitive tools. This session was recorded at the SAS workshop at CODA22 which took place in Melbourne in September 2022. For more information about the CODA Project go to: https://codachange.org/ 

Human Factors in Airway Management

David Brewster describes the current state of play with airway management in the critical care setting, including a summary of the INTUBE study and the Safe Airway Society guidelines for airway management in COVID-19 patients.

Airway Innovators 3 - Ketamine in fibre-optic airway management

Adam Rehak addresses confusion and lack of awareness around these combined techniques that are making their way into the armament of airway operators.  This session was recorded at the SAS workshop at CODA22 which took place in Melbourne in September 2022.
