Navigation
Don’t just “plunge and pray,” hoping to find the cords. Airway experts know that an incremental approach to laryngoscopy is best, but thoughtful progression, from mouth opening to tube delivery, can be a difficult path to follow under stress. It helps to develop a personal mantra that you can recite. This will calm the mind, give you focus, and ultimately improve your first-pass success. So, take a moment to develop your intubation mantra. We show you how here.
