Hello, med students. My name is Zach Olson, and today is episode A, airway. It is going to be the

first of three episodes where I am planning on teaching you a 60-second

approach to the crashing patient. This is going to happen to you multiple times on your clerkship,

and you really need to be the best at this if you want to get top one-third ranking on your slow.

Now, before we get started on Airway, let me ask you, who is the crashing patient? How are you going to know when you need to

fall back on the A, B, C's? One of my attendings totally said it best when he told me,

Zach, it was one of those situations

where I could feel the beat of sweat dripping down my back and it landed in my butt crack.

What causes that? What causes butt crack sweat? Because he's totally right. What causes your

heart rate to go up and up and up and

up and what causes a lump to crawl into your throat and causes the nurses to talk louder

and louder and louder until the whole room feels chaotic and people are tripping on

oxygen tubing and trays are crashing and the family members are screaming. Are you even a real

doctor?
