Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The Combitube is a relatively new device used for blind insertion emergency intubation. We report a case of successful Combitube treatment of an acute respiratory arrest secondary to an acute asthma exacerbation. An advanced EMT-II (National Park Service Parkmedic) utilized this device. Our review of the literature revealed no reported cases of an advanced EMT-II, nor any other cases, using the Combitube in asthma-related respiratory failure. |
