Episode notes

TopMedTalk brings you exclusive, cutting-edge conversation from Anesthesiology 2024, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) annual general meeting; the world’s largest gathering of anesthesiologists. The conference brings us all together to discuss the latest advances in the field.

This piece presents a strong case for video laryngoscopy. It’s the preferred method but is the evidence there and if so what is it? Why has it become “the new gold standard”?

Desiree Chappell and Mike Grocott speak with Kurt Ruetzler, staff anesthesiologist at Cleveland Clinic, associate Professor of Anesthesiology, Lerner College of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University.
