Modify "LOAD" Pretreatment? | Rapid Sequence Intubation | #CODEBLUEDEBRIEF

Welcome to PHARMWYZE! Clinical pharmacotherapy content made for learners of all medicine backgrounds. Thanks for joining me on the Code Blue Debrief YouTube & Podcast series. The focus will be evidence-based medicine and pharmacotherapy topics for emergency medicine and critical care learners. We're taught an outdated practice and continue to pass it onward to our learners. Evidence no longer supports routine use. For such high acuity patients, I have almost adapted the approach based on necessity. I've shifted content development into longer formats and would love to hear your input! Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Make sure to stop by my website at www.pharmwyze.com, or visit linktr.ee/pharmwyze for my SM accounts.
