HAVL PACscape // Featured curriculum
A great view is
only the beginning.
Hyperangulated video laryngoscopy can reveal the airway with extraordinary clarity. The real challenge is what happens next.
The view is not the procedure
Seeing the glottis does not guarantee tracheal access.
Successful HAVL requires the clinician to coordinate airway geometry, blade position, rigid-stylet behavior, tube trajectory, and the movements of both hands.
The most important failures often occur during the transitions—from creating the view to introducing the tube, and from reaching the target to entering the trachea.
When those relationships are not understood, the glottis may be perfectly visible while the tube follows the wrong trajectory, catches at the laryngeal inlet, or cannot complete the final turn into the trachea.
The Protected Airway Collaborative’s Hyperangulated Video Laryngoscopy PACscape was built to make those relationships visible—and trainable.
The essential shiftDon’t train for the perfect view.
Practice the transition most likely to break.
Five chapters · one fluid procedure
A curriculum built for movement.
Demonstrations, visual artifacts, hands-on practice guidance, and station-based learning connect the mental model to the movements required at the airway.
See around the curve
Understand how a camera near the blade tip changes the visual path—and why tube delivery remains difficult.
Understand the geometry
Use the Two-Curve Theory to distinguish the path that creates the view from the route the tube must follow.
Build the view
Learn how midline insertion, controlled advancement, and blade position create a usable working view.
Define the route
Understand how a rigid stylet governs tube trajectory, release, and advancement.
Make it seamless
Coordinate the blade hand and tube hand through one fluid, repeatable procedure.
Learn online · practice with purpose
The curriculum moves with you.
Prepare before a training session, use the same visual pathway at a physical station, and return afterward to revisit the exact transition you are working to improve.
Before
Build the mental model.
Understand the relationships before you begin so every movement at the station has a purpose.
During
Practice the transitions.
Rehearse the points where the procedure commonly breaks—not simply another successful attempt.
After
Close the learning loop.
Use the knowledge check and repeated review to identify what you understand and what still requires practice.
