Procedure References

These links should serve as a reference for safe and proper techniques on how to perform many common (and some uncommon) procedures in the ED. For some procedures there may be both a longer video explaining in-depth details if this is your first time (eg med students and interns) and a shorter video if it's been a while and you just want to brush up.
