Ok, I am really serious about this subject.
This was a 3am bay talk after a call on night at the firehouse.
There had been a show on tv about conjoined twins, specifically the twin girls who share one body with two heads. Now these are two fully formed heads, each with a seperate upper airway, but it appears the share the same lower airway.
Ok, here is the question:
If you had to intubate this person(s), what would you with second airway? It has to be secured somehow because it has it's own set of cords, and any 02 would come out the other airway.
Please, take this seriously. I do not wish to offend anyone, but our profession is to take care off all persons, regardless. We need to be ready.
I am looking forward to your responses.
Thank you.
