40 intubations in 2 weeks?

a question about how I got 40 tubes in my two week rotation (abot 20 missed). To set the record straight, I did a 4 week anesthesia rotation. I did 4 weeks of anesthesia in the morning and 4 weeks of radiology in the afternoon. This awesome, since cases are in the morning, and reads happen all day long. It was about the second week when I started to get comfortable with intubation. That is the point when everybody finishes, but I had another two weeks to perfect my skills. In fact, 30 of the 40 were in the final two weeks.

So, if you have anesthesia and radiology in the same institution, I recommend trying this. You will love it.
