CCP Podcast 028: James DuCanto Talks Intubation

I love the world of social media. It was through the medium of Twitter that I was able to connect with James DuCanto (@jducanto)who is an anesthesiologist at Aurora Health Care in Wisconsin. Gavin Denton (@DentonGavin) and I picked his brains about some of the pitfalls in intubation especially for those not so experienced but who may well still find them in a situation where they may have to perform the task.

James has produced a few teaching videos around some of his ideas, some of which you can see on Minh LeCongs (@ketaminh) PHARM site, so I won't reproduce them here. just follow the link.

I did ask him about cricoid pressure and his answer was interesting. If you want to hear the discussion I had with Minh about this then go listen to CCP Podcast 010.
