Meet Dr. Eric Moses
Dr. Eric Moses is a board-certified Anesthesiologist with over 30 year's experience managing airways. He began his career as a paramedic, practicing on the ground and helicopter, in clinical, educational and management roles. He is well versed in the challenges of pre-hospital emergent airway management and compassionate to the extenuating circumstances with which prehospital providers contend. Placement of the endotracheal tube in resuscitation is critical, and unfortunately today, one in three attempts fail.
In the perioperative arena, practitioners have extensive training and practice, and advanced tools to ensure proper tube placement. Over his 20 years in anesthesia, Dr. Moses has observed that quality improvement efforts are devoted mainly to the intubation procedure, with little thought given to extubation. While there are system and surgeon pressures to extubate patients fully under anesthesia to prevent bucking and complications, the trend is to perform awake extubations that allow for bucking, hemodynamic variability, and potentially worse surgical outcomes.
For these reasons, Dr. Moses is interested in better understanding the current practice of deep extubation by his peers and in developing evidence-based standards for safer deep extubation. What research is needed to create better guidelines? How do we more appropriately educate and train physicians on performing deep extubation? When, where, and on what patients?
Dr. Moses and his team have developed a questionnaire to collect data from practitioners in order to build support for such a meaningful initiative. He and a volunteer medical student from Upstate Medical University, Anthony Curione, will be presenting a poster at the World Airway Management Meeting (WAMM) in Florence, Italy, November 5-8. Please reach out and join the mission to support, research, train, and practice safe deep extubation.
