An independent journal of airway practice
PACJournal
Where clinicians, writers, and educators tell stories about the work of becoming better at what we do.
Pediatric airway × videolaryngoscopy × human performance
From the editor
PAC is built around a simple proposition: an idea has not finished its work until it changes what happens with your hands.
The current issue // July 2026
Stories, studies & field notes.
Read across disciplines. Follow the clinical problem, the visual artifact, or the person doing the work.
A Great View Is Only the Beginning
Hyperangulated video laryngoscopy is not one skill. It is a sequence of transitions—and the transitions are where performance breaks.
