About this listen

In part 4 of the Trauma and Burn Anesthesia series, we turn to the critical steps of securing the airway, establishing reliable vascular access, and safely transitioning the patient from the trauma bay to the operating room. This episode highlights the challenges of airway management in unstable and severely injured patients, including techniques for rapid sequence induction, surgical airways, and strategies to minimize the risks of hypoxemia and aspiration. Intravenous and arterial line placement are discussed in the context of urgent access for fluid resuscitation, vasoactive support, blood sampling, and continuous hemodynamic monitoring. The episode also examines the logistical and physiologic considerations of patient transfer, emphasizing teamwork, communication, and vigilance to maintain stability during this vulnerable phase of trauma care.
