The EMS Lighthouse Project

Episode 18

Show Notes

The debate has raged. In this corner, we have our established champion succinylcholine, or, as the oldsters call it, “because we’ve always done it this way”. In that other corner over there, we have the brash newcomer, rocuronium, or, as the youngsters call it, “OMG… what about the hyperK!.” Wouldn’t you just like an answer? Which is better? SAMU to the (potential) rescue. Our French colleagues published a Randomized Clinical Trial comparing FPS among prehospital patients undergoing intubation between succinylcholine and rocuronium. What did they find? Join Dr. Jarvis for a hot-off-the-presses podcast that will give you the down and dirty about this trial ON THE DAY IT WAS PUBLISHED! Take THAT Second Shift!
