Today’s show is all about the changes in how we approach intubation in EMS. Dr. Jeff Jarvis will relate how he got interested in the topic of airway management and specifically the process of delayed sequence intubation. Dr. Jarvis is the EMS medical director for Williamson County Texas EMS. He will present data from the recent Annals of Emergency Medicine paper his group authored on the topic. MCHD quality lead, Kevin Crocker, will present our data following DSI Implementation in Montgomery County.
