Study Notes

George Kovat, a specialist in Airway management, shares his experience and expertise in managing difficult Airways.
He recalls a traumatic experience in his early career involving a train accident and the ensuing emergency department visit.
He discusses the importance of managing various factors that influence patient outcomes besides managing the difficult Airway itself.
These factors include patient physiology, experience of the provider, equipment availability, and performance anxiety.
He emphasizes the significance of competence, context, confidence, and conscientiousness in providing successful Airway management.
The 'rule of 90s' is proposed, which includes striving for a first pass success rate of 90%, maintaining SATs over 90%, and doing it in a timely manner (within 90 seconds).
Deliberate practice is essential for competence, involving the appropriate educational framework, effortful practice, and timely feedback.
The importance of context is highlighted, as various environments create different circumstances and stress levels for providers.
The amygdala, an almond-sized portion of the brain, is responsible for triggering the fight or flight response and managing the internal environment under high-stress scenarios.
Kovat's presentation focuses on managing the dangerous Airway, which involves both patient and environmental issues.
Difficult Airways can be a result of difficult native anatomy, difficult pathology, and difficult emergency patients.
The presentation aims to address the psychological aspects of managing difficult Airways and provide Airway management 'therapy'.
Competence in Airway management includes understanding what successful Airway management means and applying the rule of 90s.
Deliberate practice is crucial for becoming competent and mastering a skill, as outlined in Malcolm Gladwell's 'Outliers' and Ericsson's research on expertise.- The amydala hijack is a phenomenon where the brain reacts to fear or stress by bypassing the rational part and triggering a sense of panic, impairing effective management of the situation.
Heart rate affects performance during Airway management. At 115 bpm, fine motor control is lost; at 145 bpm, gross motor control is affected; and at higher heart rates, bowel and bladder functions may also be lost.
The external environment in Airway management includes mannequins used for learning, which may not accurately simulate real-life conditions and skills, such as jaw thrust, chest rise, and appropriate responses to external manipulation and various Airway types.
People gain confidence in their abilities after initial experiences but may be humbled by reality and face setbacks, leading to a "valley of despair" before eventually reaching expertise or guru status.
The philosopher's quote "we've all got plans until we get punched in the mouth" emphasizes the importance of adapting to real-life challenges and experiences.
Dunning and Krueger's research shows that people are most confident shortly after starting a new venture but can experience humbling setbacks and a "valley of despair" before eventually gaining expertise.
The concept of working ethically in Airway management means prioritizing patient care over personal success, seeking help when needed, and maintaining a high level of competence and skill.
System one training, practicing a series of steps as if one has the equipment in hand, can help prepare for rare, high-stakes scenarios and improve performance under pressure.
Combat and chemistry research suggest ways to manage stress physiology to improve performance and patient care, such as positive self-talk, breathing exercises, and visualization techniques.
The quote "reality won't adapt to your skill level, so make sure you bring the skills necessary to take care of your patients" highlights the importance of being prepared for real-world challenges and adapting to change.
