Article Synopsis
- Medical devices, 3D printing, and virtual reality are becoming essential in healthcare for better patient results.
- Physicians face clinical challenges but often lack the training needed to create patient-focused innovations.
- Hands-on clerkships were introduced to help physicians build necessary skills in emerging medical technologies.
Introduction: Difficult or failed intubation significantly increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. Documentation of a prior difficult or failed tracheal intubation is a strong predictor of future difficult intubation.
Methods: We undertook a quality improvement project to create a redesigned difficult intubation alert with increased visibility in our electronic health record.
Background And Aims: Modern health care faces a plethora of challenges including the delivery of quality and cost-efficient care. Physicians are first-hand observers of clinical problems but may lack the requisite training and education to develop innovations that improve patient care. Few medical education programs address innovation, leadership, and transdisciplinary collaboration despite being highlighted by national medical and education organizations including the American Medical Association.

In contrast to primary emergency airway management, the optimal management of such scenarios may not be well defined or appreciated.
Recent Findings: Endotracheal tube cuff leaks may compromise both oxygenation and ventilation, and supraglottic cuff position must first be recognized and distinguished from other reasons for gas leakage during positive pressure ventilation.
