Beyond ATLS

Is airway management always your first step in trauma care? In this lecture from the ResusX: Golden Hour conference (see the link below for more lectures), Dr. Mohamed Hagahmed challenges conventional wisdom and explores when the airway may not be the top priority.

He delves into the critical importance of preventing hypoxia, selecting the right induction agents, and mastering techniques like the SALAD method for suctioning. Dr. Hagahmed also emphasizes the need for comfort with cricothyrotomy, urging practitioners to rethink their trauma protocols.
