Last live lectures of #CHEST2020 about to start! Excited for the Airways Controversy Lecture with @virenkaul @Chaeface @DavidBowton and David Bell.

@Chaeface: Starting it off with DL vs VL with @DavidBowton! #CHEST2020

@DavidBowton: I think it is a false argument. Should be using both of these depending on the circumstance. #CHEST2020

@DavidBowton: Positioning important with DL, not as important with VL. #CHEST2020

@DavidBowton: VL is easier to learn #CHEST2020

@DavidBowton: Is one more likely to be successful? It depends on experience of user. #CHEST2020

@Davidbowton: Is one better than the other? #CHEST2020

@DavidBowton: Is VL the go-to rescue device? #CHEST2020

Dr. David Bell: Using neuromuscular blocking agents in the critically ill. Successful landings can be challenging depending on condition. #CHEST2020

Dr. Bell: Neuromuscular blockade improves first pass attempts. #CHEST2020

Dr. Bell: If you choose Rocuronium, choose the higher dose. #CHEST2020

Dr. Bell: It's a delicate balance to get to a definitive airway. Don't count on spontaneous breathing to be your safety net. Count on your team and your plan. #CHEST2020

@virenkaul: How do you recognize a patient who will develop hyptension? #CHEST2020

@virenkaul: Calculate shock index to determine who might develop hypotension. Should be < 0.8. #CHEST2020

@virenkaul: 3 options to treat hypotension: Fluids, push pressors, do nothing. Push pressors likely most effective. Need to be aware of potential complications. #CHEST2020

@virenkaul hemodynamic plan for airways! #CHEST2020

@Chaeface: A densely packed final live-session!!! Thank you team! #CHEST2020
