Endotracheal Intubation Video

Posted on June 9, 2007 by jeffd

The New England Journal of Medicine in their Videos in Clinical Medicine section have released a video that covers performing endotracheal intubation.

This video demonstrates how to perform orotracheal intubation. Specific indications are discussed, along with contraindications, troubleshooting, and complications.

Specific topics covered in the video include:

  • Overview
  • Indications
  • Contraindications
  • Equipment
  • Preparation
  • Orotracheal Intubation
  • Confirmation
  • Securing the Tube
  • Complications

 The video can be viewed and downloaded at the NEJM. The video also has a PDF summary to accompany it.

Some previous Videos in Clinical Medicine include arterial line insertion, nasogastric tube insertion, lumbar puncture and thoracentesis.

These are great learning/teaching tools and I definately reccomend checking them out.
