Nick George

In this discussion, Nick George, a retrievalist from Australia and former medical student at the University of Maryland, dives into the evolving world of airway management in critical care transport. He challenges long-held beliefs about whether a paramedic or nurse background truly impacts intubation success. Featuring insights from a massive study of over 7,800 intubations, Nick emphasizes the importance of training and repetition over credentials. He also reflects on historical influences in EMS and explores the dynamics of pre-hospital airway management for today's providers.
