How small is too small for #Macintosh videolaryngoscopy?
In 192 adults with anticipated difficult airways, an interincisor distance <21–23 mm was associated with increased risk of #videolaryngoscopy failure.

Failed your first intubation attempt?
Stop. Breath. Ventilate. If laryngoscopy fails, prioritize ventilation with an SGA. Don't just repeat a failed move—switch to a guided technique like a flexible scope. Repeating the same mistake leads to a surgical airway. 🚑 #FOAMed #DifficultAirway

Why VAFEI is the ultimate Plan B
If a standard blade fails, don't repeat the mistake. Pivot to Video-Assisted Flexible Endoscopic Intubation (VAFEI). Use VL to create space while the scope navigates the corner. Precision delivery with a mechanical advantage! 🎯 #DifficultAirway #FOAMed

Difficulty airway? Don't panic—pivot.
Once you've ventilated, use "Plan B." A hyperangulated blade is great, but the ultimate cheat code is combining VL with a flexible scope. Teamwork makes this the most successful rescue move in medicine. 🤝 #FOAMed #DifficultAirway

The USG measurement of the PreE/E-VC ratio correlated with CL grade and IDS, while HMDR poorly correlated with CL grade and IDS and thus failed to predict difficult intubation.
