Welcome back team! The trauma airway is an incredibly important topic whether you're in the trauma bay or anywhere else in or out of the hospital. There is a reason that the trauma ABDCE algorithm begins with A, and Airway is absolutely essential to the patient and you should be comfortable with it.
In this video we're going to answer all of the questions above and supplement what you've already learned in your studies.
If you haven't checked out the first video in the trauma series on how to do a primary and secondary survey in trauma then definitely check that out first:

Thank you so much for the feedback, super pumped that you enjoy them and that they are helpful!
As an ER & Peds ER physician rectifying for ATLS, I would say very Organized and Informative, at all levels. Especially considering the importance of “A” (Airway) and that if you don’t establish the “A”, everything else is over for your patient. Having Knowledge of key Airway concepts, being Organized / Prepared, helps your Confidence in managing any pitfalls along the way in Establishing / Maintaining “A”.

Absolutely 100% agree with your comment, A is everything, It must be respected or else it’s all over, there is no trauma resuscitation without airway
Perfect! Never recognized it somehow in such an easy way! Great job man! Thank ya so much!
