I just had this procedure yesterday during a very small surgery, I didn’t notice anything because of course I was asleep, but I wanted to see how they did this to me. Wow I didn’t feel anything. Thanks doctors nurses and anesthesiologist for taking care of me when I was not able to do it myself ❤️
Hope your recovery went as planned! Like most advanced procedures, I dread the day I have to perform this in the field. That's why these videos are so important, to keep it fresh in our minds!
Really like the videos, very helpful, but please low the background music because it is very disruptive and high volume compare to the voices so is hard to understand what they are saying and if I level the volume up the music makes it very annoying... Maybe is just me but it is how I feel about it. Thank You.
We appreciate the input! When we had no background music, we got complaints about the white noise that was distracting. We will look into lowering the background music. Glad you're finding these so useful.
Make sure to check for a gag reflex before inserting an opa... mine was present and I started with an npa, then reassessed reflex and progressed to the opa
Great content, guys. I also have a question in regards to the patient that has a pulse and has the SGA inserted. Is it 1 ventilation every 5-6 seconds or 1 ventilation every 10 seconds. Thanks.
Great question! We check the various quadrants of the lungs to assess each piece. There are multiple lobes in the lungs and we want to make sure we're listening to all of them, not just two spots.
@@GSAVOFF no you check for gastric sounds plus the 4 quadrants (aka 3 lobes on one side and 2 lobes on the other) they can be split into quadrants if that makes anatomy easier for ppl to learn. But really you check gastric sounds PLUS all 5 lobes.
Hey Nifty, that goes against the manufacturer recommendations. The tube is typically placed to where its bend/curvature meets the tongue, then it gets inflated. This ends up pushing the tube a little further outside the mouth as it seats itself.

Vocal audio in this video is mostly on the left channel while music is mostly on the right. You can adjust balance to suit your preference.

Skills test tomorrow lets see how this goes!
Passed on first try!
Congrats! Mine is in 3 days!

Thanks.
1 ventilation every 5-6 seconds or 10-12 breaths per minute for an adult is what the skill sheet states. Thanks Ekabodian!
How would you know when to use a kings tube vs just using a bvm to provide ventilations with oxygen
couple answers. 1.) According to your local protocol. 2.) If your O2 stats aren't improving with an OPA/BVM
Good job....good team...
Why do you check 4 quadrants of the lungs rather than just checking bilaterally?
Great question! We check the various quadrants of the lungs to assess each piece. There are multiple lobes in the lungs and we want to make sure we're listening to all of them, not just two spots.
@@Emtprep the lungs have 5 lobes, not 4 quadrants. The dude was verbalizing the abdomen mixing it up with the lungs

@@Emtprep why? If by some absolute miracle you've managed to insert the SGA into a bronchus it will be apparent just listening on each side?
This is a basic skill in Michigan as well
In MI, getting tested on this today. Currently nervous as fuck.
@@josephlewis7566 hope your exam went well.
Where is Gel on King airway
Definitely something that could have been verbalized or shown. Good thinking!!
My Psychomotor is December 14th I'm nervous omg AEMT let's go
how'd you do!
This dude was getting crazy when he did the supraglottic part lol
How do you know if it's at appropriate depth?
Hey Jeff, great question!! How did you learn to ensure appropriate depth on your patients who are receiving a supraglottic airway?
There is a line on the supra glottic device which determine the depth to be inserted ... Line should be at the level of mouth
It’s changed a bit now
what a babe, im in the wrong state
👍
What kind of sound would you hear Over the epigastrm?
If properly place you shouldn't hear any. You auscultate the area to make sure you aren't ventilating their stomach instead of the lungs

When my instructor taught us she had us stuck it all the way down to the lips.
*stick
Hey Nifty, your instructor had you insert the airway device all the way to the lips?
Yes, the red tip was just barely protruding from the mouth.
Hey Nifty, that goes against the manufacturer recommendations. The tube is typically placed to where its bend/curvature meets the tongue, then it gets inflated. This ends up pushing the tube a little further outside the mouth as it seats itself.
OK thanks.
lol how this an advanced skill. In Oregon its an EMT skill lol.
National vs state standards Shawn. Glad you work in Oregon. That’s where we’re based out of!
You’re just that cool Shawn
