  1. This is a spin-off from another thread. The previous discussion led us to talking about the S.A.L.T. ( Supraglottic Airway Laryngopharyngeal Tube). In training the S.A.L.T. is wonderful. It has a low failure rate in intubation attempts as well as simplifies and speeds up the endotracheal intubation process. How well does it work in the field on real patients as opposed to mannequins in the lab? Do any of you guys have field experience with the S.A.L.T? Are there any inherent drawbacks or difficulties in it’s field use that you have discovered through experience?
  2. Here's another study that I found interesting. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22465807 What with all the sturm und drang (read: hoopla) about ET tubes and such, it seems that in porcine models in V-fib arrest with CPR in progress, placing a supraglottic airway significantly decreases the amount of carotid blood flow. That is, I think, really bad. Do you think this will have any ramifications on EMS practice? I doubt it. After all we found out back in 1978 that buccal glucose doesn't work but that didn't stop anybody.
