The EMS Lighthouse Project

The debate has raged. In this corner, we have our established champion succinylcholine, or, as the oldsters call it, “because we’ve always done it this way.” In that other corner, we have the brash newcomer, rocuronium, or, as the youngsters call it, “OMG… what about the hyperK!.” Wouldn’t you just like an answer? Which is better? SAMU to the (potential) rescue. Our French colleagues published a Randomized Clinical Trial comparing FPS among pre-hospital patients undergoing intubation between succinylcholine and rocuronium. What did they find? Join Dr. Jarvis for a hot-off-the-presses podcast that will give you the down-and-dirty about this trial ON THE DAY IT WAS PUBLISHED! Take THAT Second Shift!
