While I'm a little late to the game, I'm somewhere along the lines of RRTMedic and VentMonkey on this. I'd rather NOT have to intubate, given the complexity of this case. If there's no question that an intubation MUST occur, I'm probably thinking along the lines of Ketamine with Succs and Versed/Fentanyl to keep the patient down and I'd consider a long duration paralytic if that's absolutely necessary. As far as backup stuff is concerned, has anyone considered the possibility of using a guidewire/reverse Seldinger?
