Podcast 193 - Airway Recording Program w/ Dr. Brookeman & John Winstead
Sunday, 14 June, 2026
The Future of Airway Quality Improvement: Learning from Every Intubation In this episode of the FOAMfrat Podcast, Dr. Harrison Brookeman sits down with John Winstead, Captain of the EMS Specialist Program at Fairfax County Fire and Rescue, to discuss how video laryngoscopy recordings are changing the way we evaluate, teach, and improve airway management. From building a sustainable airway recording program to creating a culture of objective feedback, they share practical lessons learned from reviewing hundreds of real-world intubations. The conversation explores first-pass success, the importance of suction and preparation, team-based airway management, and how video review can transform both individual performance and system-wide practice. As airway procedures become increasingly rare but remain critically important, the question is no longer "Did we get the tube?" It is "How can we get better every single time?" Tune in for a forward-looking discussion on the future of airway education, quality improvement, and the role technology may play in making prehospital airway management safer and more effective.
