Common ED Procedures
From Guide to YKHC Medical Practices
Procedural Sedation
Chest tubes
Intubations
- All intubated patients must be medevac’d to ANMC for ICU management. We do not have an ICU in Bethel and we do not have the resources to keep these patients.
- There is an adult and pediatric guideline that you are expected to follow.
- Intubation – Adult
- Intubation – Pediatric
Closed Fracture reductions
- This is a common procedure in our ED. The ortho docs will expect you to telerad both pre and post-reduction films when you have a displaced fracture.
- You need to use the ortho telerad form.
