Enjoyed your talk! As an anesthesiologist, I use a video laryngoscope for every ICU intubation. Anesthesia lit supports this as well. My personal practice is 1. VL, 2. Retromolar Miller (most people wouldn't do this), 3. SGA + fiberoptic
As an anesthesiologist, I enjoyed and leaned a couple of things.. thanks.. but I would add one thing using the ASA assessment to anticipate the difficult airway is always helpful.... the studies from the 90s demonstrate 4 items of particular usefullness .. class of uvular/tongue/teeth view, airway opening, mentohyoid distance, neck mobility/extensibility,.. one can argue to go straight to LMA, and then passing a tube down the LMA
This was next-level amazing, thank you. My fear is massive hematemesis when two Ducanto suctions fail me (they have never failed me so far). Should I practice DL for that day? Some people keep telling me that day to follow bubbles with a direct when the promised day came!
Excellent talk as usual. I have one thing to add. You should have your patient fully relaxed with neuromuscular blocker. It will help you. Second, deal with every intubation as anticipated difficult. Thanks
I had my first anesthesiologist listen to me why I am difficult to intubate. She got 2 supervisors and they made 2 plans in surgery in May. I have her notes from my chart printed out. I am having a vertical hysterectomy in 3 days and will be handing it to the anesthesiologist. One surgeon let an anesthesiologist destroy the back of my throat where I had to come back to the ER that night with the darkest purple all across the back of my surgery. There are 4 reasons for me: neck to short and wide, lg scar tissue over larynyx, and small mouth. I was reassured in May that they had a plan and a back up plan before I was put to sleep which was reassuring and still took 2 tries.

Thanks for that. Awesome
Find one method that works for you and master it. AND Train, not until you get it right, but train until you cannot get it wrong.
Well said
Thank you!!
You’re welxome
