3rd EDE 3 Article on Airway #POCUS

Here is the 3rd and final Airway POCUS article presented by Tom Jelic at the EDE 3 Journal club. The title is “Defining the learning curve for point-of-care ultrasound for confirming and a tracheal tube placement by emergency physicians“. See the end of this post for a video demonstrating what you see on the screen with esophageal intubation.

As you can see, Jordan Chenkin was the lead author of this paper. Jordan refers to academic centres in July as esophageal intubation centres of excellence! See below for an example of an esophageal intubation from Sudbury. It wasn’t July, but it was a tough case of angioedema. It demonstrates the double trach sign.
