What is the most efficacious introducer when performing hyperangulated videolaryngoscopy?
Stylets were most efficacious and a static bougie least.

hyperangulated videolaryngoscopy pearl:
this is your daily reminder to *look* at the oropharynx while you’re passing the ETT through it.
don’t stare anxiously at the screen while blindly jabbing at the oropharynx, waiting for the tube to magically appear on the screen. #EMIMCC

The authors discuss a ‘blind spot’ of the oropharynx during videolaryngoscopy.
Any thoughts?

with roc & videolaryngoscopy it’s generally easy to reinsert the laryngoscope *without* removing the ETT
if you & everyone in the room can plainly see the ETT going thru the cords, its placed correctly
this is *different* from one operator glimpsing the cords for a split second #EMIMCC
