The first intubation



A very FIRST for Hopital Sacre Coeur...So I Intubated the very first patient here...a woman we discovered now has pneumonia who was breathing 60 times a minute, obtunded, HR of 160s. She is doing well on our new ventilators! We were able to "rig" it to use very minimal oxygen as the vents have their own compressor. Let's pray the she does ok!
