The Art of Pre-Oxygenation
Steven Haywood, MDAcademic emergency physician who teaches the often-misunderstood principles of oxygenation before you push the drugs.
Thanks for tuning in to the EMRA podcast. As a thank-you, ResusX is giving EMRA listeners four high-yield resuscitation talks from our faculty: pre-oxygenation, STEMI mimics, pacemakers, and modern DKA management.
Drawn straight from the ResusX stage in Philadelphia. Real cases, short format, no filler.

Distinguished Professor at the University of Maryland, author of 26 textbooks, and one of the best-known ECG educators in EM.
Assistant professor at Drexel with 20+ years in the ED. She makes pacemaker rhythms readable in real time.
A high-energy look at modern DKA care: what changed, what didn't, and what most of us still get wrong.
From a lactate level to a rhythm strip, the hard part is knowing what to do next.
Each of these videos takes one moment you'll face on shift and walks through the decision, not just the fact. Watch them between shifts, on the train, or the night before your next resus rotation.
You know the textbook answer. On shift, at 3 a.m., with your attending in another room, it feels different.
How long is long enough before I push the induction drugs?
Pre-oxygenation feels routine until your patient desaturates on the first pass. Learn how to buy the time before you need it.
The machine read says normal. Something still feels off.
STEMI mimics don't announce themselves. Learn the patterns before you have to defend your read to cardiology.
Is this a malfunction, or is this just how this patient's rhythm looks?
Pacemaker patients are everywhere in the ED. Reading their rhythms with confidence is rare, even among attendings.
Why isn't this patient responding the way the protocol says?
DKA management has moved on. Find out what modern care looks like before your next ICU handoff.

I watched the ECG video on a Tuesday. On Thursday I caught a pattern I would have completely missed before. That's what ResusX does.James R., MD · Emergency Physician, Baltimore, MD
I own every hour of content the ResusX team puts out. There is no other medical education platform like theirs.Stacy M., MD · Emergency Physician, Baltimore, MD
I have never attended a conference that taught me so much. ResusX is in a completely different category.Steve M., MD · Emergency Physician, Milwaukee, WI
Now in its 7th year, ResusX brings three days of high-yield, case-driven learning to Philadelphia with leading critical care educators: talks, live demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and small-group simulation. These four videos come straight from that faculty and curriculum.

Yes, a free one, using the same email you submit. It takes under a minute.
The talks are pitched at practicing clinicians, but they're case-based and clear. Students on an EM rotation get a lot out of them.
