A reminder that you can treat acute pulmonary edema quickly and effectively without NIV. I tweeted this a year ago in the context of preparing for COVID. More of our trainees now getting comfortable with nitrate boluses https://twitter.com/cliffreid/status/1241486112909955072

In trauma patients, lying a patient flat with no pillow leaves the neck EXTENDED. For a NEUTRAL position, occipital elevation is required.
An added bonus: airway management is easier and laryngeal view is improved.
Does your trauma centre leave patients' necks extended?
1/ Emergency front-of-neck access is not a ‘failed airway’. It’s an alternative airway, and therefore a ‘successful airway’.
Terminology matters, as it frames our mental models, which influence our behaviour.
A key question to ask in the resus room when you've been resuscitating for a while (especially trauma), or have yet to progress to, say, CT:
"why are we still here?"
Works especially well in the prehospital setting too!
