Professor and Interim Department Chair Dr. Mike Winters, MBA, MD, along with Emergency Medicine (EM) specialists in Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Philadelphia, recently released the newest episode of the Critical Care Perspectives in EM podcast. 

The episode explores the American College of Emergency Physicians’ new policy on intubation. The policy, published in August in the Annals of Emergency Medicine, seeks to address strategies to minimize peri-intubation physiologic compensation for patients intubated in emergency department settings. 

In their discussion, Dr. Winters and colleagues review the policy and discuss its potential application to patients presenting in the emergency department.
