CCN Weekly · 28 Sep–4 Oct 2026 A short trawl of the last seven days. Papers, POCUS, FOAMed, and the meeting that is actually next week. Opener Papers POCUS FOAMed Fluids Podcasts Meetings Waveform Editor's opener Sunday 4 October. Lisbon is a week away, and the literature has been practical rather than flashy. Weaning boards that nearly, then maybe, move the needle. A huge videolaryngoscopy series that says a pretty glottic view is not an easy tube. And a commentary telling us the arterial line is a tool, not a reflex.

UCL Discovery is UCL's open access repository, showcasing and providing access to UCL research outputs from all UCL disciplines.

The important shift is not a single device. It is a more disciplined system around the attempt.

As glorious as direct laryngoscopy was, it's time to transition to hyperangulated videolaryngoscopy as the mainstay of intubation among critically ill

Category: Critical Care Nursing   In the setting of a predicted difficult airway management, indirect optical devices and videolaryngoscopy provide better glottic visualization and maximize the likelihood of intubation success.

Category: Critical Care Nursing   Direct laryngoscopy failure is frequently associated with the inability to visualize the glottis, whereas failure in videolaryngoscopy is often related to the inability to pass the ETT. Each device has unique technical considerations.
