Another example of basic anatomic knowledge that can improve clinical practice. Join us June 21st for more 👉 theprotectedairway.com/welco…
Before the epiglottis, before, the vallecula, before the vocal cords, there’s one other anatomic structure you can use to your advantage. The TMJ has a unique structure you can leverage to improve your view, and give you room to deliver that endotracheal tube.

Another Case of Unrecognized Esophageal Intubation
Confirmation requires sustained waveform EtCO2.
In many cases of unrecognized esophageal intubation, providers report 👍🏻 lung sounds & other clinical signs of tracheal intubation.
They are not reliable. bbc.com/news/uk-england-beds…

Tips for inserting balloon tamponade device (eg. Sengstaken) in ED or retrieval setting (ie pre-transport)
1. Videolaryngoscopy assisted insertion
2. Store a simple Quick Reference Guide with the device (like this one by @PeteLawrance2 )
3. Tape to a collar to provide traction

Cool study by the team from @UMNemergencymed!
Engaging the median hyoepiglottic ligament leads to improved laryngeal views.

I’m not sure why awake intubation is so readily accepted as the safest option for patients with significant anatomic difficulties, but not for patients with significant physiologic difficulties

When VL view gets soiled your options.
1) keep advancing blindly, hope & pray not cause airway trauma and airway fluids will magically clean your optics, enough (it sometimes happens)
2) pull back and wipe optics with your gloved finger
3) pull out and wipe with alcohol prep wipe

Laryngoscope 101: how to hold it...
Don’t palm it!! Start with a light & low finger grip. It will give you better control for fine movements: identification of the epiglottis, and placement in the vallecula #protectedairway #insta #FOAMed

Fantastic 6 min overview of the multiple ways N95 masks act to protect the wearer from exposure to small particles from @minutephysics.
"N95s are much cleverer than strainers"
Worth a look.
