I am curious as to how many medics out there have actually ever done a cric in the field. I know it is one of those paths less traveled with airway, but who has done one? I saw a patient RSI'ed, or attempted to be RSI'ed, the medic could not get him tubed. He inserted the combi and still no rise and fall. This was a nightmare. He refused to cric because he said it would cause more harm than good. How is that? We needed an airway... never got it because the big brave "mightymedics" on the truck who was going to be all big and bad and RSI couldn't tube after the drugs. Get this... the patient had a good airway before the RSI, they were RSI'ing because he was very combative. The man wound up coding, with no airway.... he died! We bagged all the way to the hospital with no rise and fall of the chest. What an idiot or a couple idiots might I add! Any thoughts?
