I'm shocked by this intubation I saw at clinical earlier. They didn't give the patient
succinylcholine or propofol or anything before they tried to intubate him, and he was fighting. The intern and then the resident tried and failed five times to get a tube in him and they bloodied up his trachea before someone got a tube in. They didn't use aseptic technique. My professor said it was the worst intubation she's seen. I'm just feeling upset that they didn't sedate him and he was struggling, they waited until they finally got the tube in and then gave him 0.5 of Ativan. I can't say what hospital it is, but I hope to God I never get taken there. Have you seen anything like this?
