Unrecognised Oesophageal Intubation Flash Cards

5 out of 5 (1 rating)

A flash card simulation project was piloted at East Kent Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in 2019 as part of a trust-wide
theatre team training project. This was designed and led by Dr Tom Burr (then Simulation Fellow) and Dr Barry
Featherstone (Consultant Anaesthetist & EKHUFT Simulation Lead). The concept of flash card simulation has been
adapted for use forUnrecognised Oesophageal Intubation.

The Goals for the flashcards are:

  • To improve the recognition of oesophageal intubation as quickly as possible under high-pressure conditions.
  • To improve, reinforce and consolidate understanding of the significance of absent capnograph waveform.
  • To improve multi-professional team working in this emergency scenario by rehearsal of the steps and actions necessary.
  • To empower team members to speak up and challenge each other when required.
