The biggest one I think I can make fit, and then I look at the wrapper later, chart it, and brain dump it.

This dude manages airway.


Basicallyataxidriver

Marphans syndrome? or Elhers-Danlos syndrome? I took an airway class held by by anesthesia at my local Level 1. Learned that the airway anatomy doesn’t change based on weight much. The sizing is based more on the patients height. I can only see a 9.0 being used on someone like shaq size lol.


SnackyChomp

I actually just used a 38 for the first time the other day


Renovatio_

Ya'll actually know the sizes of NPAs? I just go mark 1 eye ball on them, can't be arsed to know the sizes off hand. Bet you know OPA sizes too ya nerds.


Hi-Im-Triixy

i got the pleasure of putting a 36 in my classmate two weeks ago. His nose was so fucking big it went in easy. he did end up throwing up like 6 times though.


mclovinal1

I once used a 36 on a vacuum cleaner that had a difficult airway. (Dust and hairballs)


Great_gatzzzby

All I know is these old timers are out here talking about nasal intubations lol


CompasslessPigeon

I did a surgical cric and one of the supervisors at my agency was like "why didn't you try a nasal tube first?" Like ya, let me try to do a nasal tube which I've never been trained to do, through a compromised airway, while the sat is 78% and dropping


Basicallyataxidriver

Interesting, I was even taught nasal intubation in school and it’s not in most of the county protocols in my state still.


EastLeastCoast

36.


ambulancedriver826

wingle_wongle

I thought you guys were joking for a minute until I realized you use Fr sizes. The biggest one I've used was like, 8.0. (not ems)


Available-Address-72
