Thanks for sharing this….there is an EXCELLENT FREE APP available for this and other emergency intra operative emergencies …check out the Stanford Emergency Manual. Easy to use and well written.
Great article and explanation of HALO events. As an aviator, I especially appreciated the strong analogies to aviation. To be effective and efficient in managing these high-acuity, low-occurrence scenarios, it takes years of dedicated training (>10,000 hours in fact) —something many clinicians become lax about after initial certification, which is greatly underappreciated by surgeons, administrators, and others. I'd much rather see this type of material prioritized for board recertification. Here is an article about a difficult airway I experienced (thankfully with a good outcome). Thanks for the effort—I know it's a labor of love.
