In this special live episode of Trauma-ing, James and Rob sat down with Mitchell and his dad, Bob, to revisit their incredible journey following a devastating MVC five years ago that left Mitchell with a severe TBI. Initially, his injuries were so grave that organ donation was discussed—but thanks to the dedication of our trauma system and the care teams across the QEII Health Sciences Center, he’s now living independently. Together, we explored their experience from the moment of the crash through rehabilitation, highlighting what went well, what mattered most to them along the way, and their advice to healthcare providers caring for patients and families facing similar life-altering injuries.

Journal Club #1 Delayed sequence intubation vs rapid sequence intubation in trauma
James and Rob cover a paper on DSI vs RSI in trauma patients. Essentially, does giving ketamine to dissociate patients for preoxygenation of 3 minutes prior to paralytic improve incidence of peri-intubation hypoxia and other adverse events.
Take home - ketamine in this population is typically hemodynamically neutral and maintains spontaneous breathing. Its use in trauma airway management can facilitate not only adequate preoxygenation, but also patient assessment, and other resuscitative measures before intubation.
