MedFlight Radio


Aug 26, 2021

August is back to a pediatric topic as MedFlight Radio finds their way back to Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio  and talks on infant/pediatric airway.  

Today we sit down with Doctor Jill Fitch (ICU intensivist at Nationwide Children Hospital)  and Jason Pierce (Former Nationwide Children Transport Nurse and Current MedFlight Flight Nurse/Education Coordinator).  The conversation dives right in on pediatric airway assessment, treatment and current trends of managing infant and pediatric airway. 

Which is better for my pediatric patient in respiratory distress—?? regular oxygen, high flow nasal cannula, CPAP, BiPAP.  

Come listen in as we get the unique expertise of a pediatric ICU intensivist talking airway in kids.
