AUDIO INTRO – COMING SOON
By now you should understand the important role supraglottic devices play in the initial care of the cardiac arrest patient.
Now go ahead and listen here, and then spend some time with these important airway lifelines.

Rapid Review
Clinical Indications
Quickly review the scenarios in which you might find a supraglottic airway beneficial. Go ahead and review the potential contraindications, and then head to the procedure videos before its time for some hands-on practice.
Some contraindications
Sometimes a supraglottic might be a bad choice during cardiac arrest, or it may be difficult. Here is a rapid review and some other predictors of difficulty.
Procedure Videos
rapid review – SAD Placement
There are a number of supraglottic airway devices (SAD) out there so it’s good to be familiar with the various types. In this space, we have a little fun with our survey of common devices: doing a rapid review of insertion techniques for each. For a deeper dive and full instruction videos, visit our Join the OxygeNATION learning space.
the igel
Easy to place and no inflation required
lma (the classic)
Easy to use, requires inflation. Found almost everywhere (you probably have one).
The King LT Airway
Often used in the pre-hospital setting. If you work in an emergency department, you should recognize and know how to manage them. We couldn’t decide which version of the video we liked best, so we’re sharing both of them.
