Advanced Airway

We are trained to provide the following advanced airway services:

• Oral tracheal intubation
• Retrograde intubation
• PerTrach cricothyrotomy
• Other surgical cricothyrotomies

These of course follow the standard bag valve mask. However, we also have the King Airway as a backup.

Breathing

We are trained to provide the following breathing services:

• Rapid Sequence induction / intubation using the most current and potent sedatives and paralytics
• Chest decompression performed in the field for tension pneumothorax
• End tidal CO2 monitoring (digital and capnograph) both in the spontaneous breathing and intubated patient
• Carbon monoxide detection / monitoring
