Intubation – Adult and Peds

From Guide to YKHC Medical Practices

(Redirected from Intubation – Adult)

  • All intubated patients should 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.
  • Rarely, a patient has resolution of the problem indicating intubation (e.g., acute intoxication) and extubation can be considered in low-risk situations. See Travis Nelson's presentation below.
