    @msiuba Thanks for sharing. Always un-nerving, but it’s a needed technique in “Cannot ventilate, cannot intubate” (incidence of 0.01-2 in 10 000 cases). Anyone doing airways should master. Congrats on the save. https://t.co/7YSZ5X7EBj

Abstract Synopsis

  • Both the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the Difficult Airway Society have created guidelines for managing unusual difficult intubation situations, which include a "cant intubate, cant ventilate" scenario.
  • This rare emergency occurs in approximately 0.012% of elective anesthetic cases, making it difficult to maintain skills and knowledge to handle such events effectively.
  • The Royal Perth Hospital's Department of Anaesthetics developed a training program focused on airway management, and the article discusses this program, how emergency airway techniques are evaluated, and the creation of a specific algorithm for the "cant intubate, cant ventilate" scenario.]
