Eric, Â not sure I am switching to Ketamine yet: this paper was designed to show mainly respiratory problems: no wonder there were more with Fentanyl, which...

It would depend on what you mean by deep extubation and what your goals are. I would recommend instillation of 2-4% lidocaine before reversal or lightening the...

I appreciate all these hints for the "best" technique for deep extubation and may even try the lido "trickle" technique described, but I must confess that I...
I just love Hunsoon's answer, but I think Terry's right: we often think of the deep exubation too late and still do it due to impatience and that's when the...

Jim, you use an optical scope through an Air-Q laryngeal mask for intubation - do you prefer it to a flexible fiberoptic bonchoscope there as you don't have...
I do prefer the optical stylet to the flexible through the Air-Q because--the scope and the tube go in as ONE unit, and you truly are intubating with the...
