What case study was presented in the Emergency Medicine Critical Care (EM‑Crit) live intubation video of a young adult male trauma patient on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) with a mandible wired shut?

I Cannot Answer This Question Based on the Evidence Provided

The question asks about a specific EM Crit video case study featuring a live intubation of a trauma patient on CPAP with a wired jaw. This is a request for information about a particular educational video/podcast episode, not a clinical management question.

Why This Cannot Be Answered

None of the provided evidence addresses this query:

• The evidence consists entirely of clinical practice guidelines for intubation management in critically ill adults 1, 2
• Several case reports describe maxillofacial trauma and airway management techniques 3, 4, 5, 6
• One article discusses guideline methodology 7

What is missing:

• No references to EM Crit (EMCrit.org) content
• No specific case study matching the description
• No video transcripts or podcast episode summaries

What I Can Tell You About the Clinical Scenario

While I cannot identify the specific video, the clinical scenario described—a patient with mandibular fixation requiring intubation while on CPAP—represents an extremely challenging airway situation that would require:

• Awake fiberoptic intubation as the preferred approach when the jaw is wired shut 5
• Submental intubation as an alternative to tracheostomy in panfacial trauma 4, 5
• Videolaryngoscopy to optimize first-pass success 1
• Preoxygenation with CPAP before attempting intubation 1

To find the specific EM Crit episode, I recommend searching the EMCrit.org website directly or contacting Dr. Scott Weingart's team with the clinical details you remember.
