I attended a pt with hereditary angioedema a handful of times, first time I encountered them they were unresponsive. I stopped freaking out when I realized they could still breathe through their nose. Also they had this really expensive IM med in their fridge that we would administer to them, Icatibant.

This makes my paramedic heart so happy to see this. I feel way too many people are ready to yank our skills away from us instead of investing in us. I’m no where near you, but that you for this.

I’ve done 8 crics in the field. 2 burns, 2 anaphylactic, 4 blocked airways due to choking

If you have a patient like those described, do you choose to not paralyze them, and just sedate only incase you’re unable to obtain, and they can still have their respiratory drive? Or what’s your practice for medication for first pass?

On a debrief after a call where I did a surgical cric, my MD said he would have backed me skipping an intubation attempt at all given the scenario. I said, "I know, it's just a hard cliff to jump from," and he said, "a patient can recover from cric a lot better than they can a hypoxic brain injury." That one epiphany took my hesitation away on future calls where a surgical airway is indicated.

RT here, even more last ditch effort is the needle crich with jet ventilation. I’ve seen it twice and buys time for a definitive airway.

You explained this so well I feel prepared to grab one of those skins and attempt this just for the sake of seeing what yall go thru when doing this and to really understand the anatomy and process to better assist patients/physicians. You can feel how passionate and knowledgeable you are as a physician by listening to you teach this! We need more of you out here!!!!

Question! Why a burn? When you say burn are you meaning more topical or say the patient was in a burning building and we would be worried about soot? Or both maybe? (Premed student curiosity) 😊
