Calling Anesthesia
This is not meant to be a pissing match between the two specialties regarding who is better at airway management (there are prior threads in both forums about this).
Lets say hypothetically you work at a hospital that has 24/7 anesthesia in house, and they are available and willing to respond to the ED.
Under what circumstances are you calling, if any? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

COVID testing on elective cases
The hospital system where I work has been doing COVID testing on all non emergent cases over the past several months. However, due to cost, and the fact that we are not finding many asymptomatic COVID cases, the CMO now wants to stop doing COVID testing pre op. Just wanted to see what is going on at your shop. My anesthesia group feels this is unfair to make a unilateral decision like this, especially since its our lives on the line during airway management, and every case we do is an...

Average Intubation # In Residency
Hello all. I’m actually a pulm/CCM fellow, but I’m interested in airway management by non-anesthesia physicians. What number of intubations would you all say the average EM resident graduates with? We are more similar to you all in the types of patients and intubations we do compared to anesthesia, so it’s a good benchmark and informative. Thanks!

EM residents claiming they are better at trauma/difficult airway management than anesthesiologists??
Recently ran across an interesting conversation on reddit, started off by this quote from a third year EM resident:
"Almost any trauma that requires intubation by definition should be considered a difficult airway and require anticipation of a difficult airway. Similarly with medical resuscitations in the ED. These are precisely the patients that should be intubated by an emergency physician or...

Practicing PA making the switch to MD
Hey all,
Long-time reader, first-time poster I've done a fair bit of searching on this topic and nothing truly addressed my specific situation!
I'm currently a practicing PA x4.5 years with my time split 50/50 between ER and ICU (our hospital is trialing an "upstairs care downstairs" model, so there's a lot of crossover). I have a fair bit of autonomy ranging from the initial resuscitation, lines, running codes and (rarely) airway management. It's great and all but often feels a bit...

Airway management principles/drugs
Hello, CA1 here. Long time lurker and first time poster. I've seen a few airway mis-adventures this year, especially on the floor and ICU and wanted to know your thoughts.
1. RSI. When do you do true vs modified? From what i've seen and read, if patient has poor pulmonary reserve and starts de-satting while waiting for paralysis to kick in then it is OK to give gentle breaths. Do you give breaths or always wait for because fear of aspiration? What is the risk benefit of A) Waiting for...
