Why does that patient keep bouncing back with the same presentation? What do you do when you're managing something you've never seen before? Do you have an approach to hypoxia in the intubated patient? What are the critical bedside investigations available for airway emergencies?

This case explores this and more as Emma Ku joins Eastern Health doctors Dr Sarah Green (Emergency Physician) and Dr Sam Surka (Emergency Registrar) to walk through a real Eastern Health medical story.  Sarah and Sam are excellent Emergency doctors, and both are interested in medical education and doctor welfare.
