RETROGRADE INTUBATION: ASSISTING WITH

Course overview

Retrograde intubation (RI) is an alternative technique for establishing an airway for patients whose mouth opening is inadequate for antegrade intubation (conventional intubation) and in whom nasotracheal intubation is contraindicated. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of assisting with RI, including its why this procedure is performed and how to assist with the procedure, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
