Editor's Summary by Anne Cappola, MD, ScM, Associate Editor of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, for the April 16, 2024, issue.

In the high-stakes environment of prehospital medicine, the ability to perform a successful intubation on the first attempt is critical. The complexity of prehospital airway management cannot be understated, given the challenging conditions and the acuity of patients encountered. This episode delves into the strategies and techniques that can significantly improve the success rates of prehospital intubations, focusing on preparation, positioning, and the SALAD (Suction-Assisted Laryngoscopy and Airway Decontamination) method.

Have you ever managed an airway with both a video-laryngoscope and a flexible intubating (fiberoptic) scope? Wait…what??? Yep, in this episode Jeremy and Sass talk about an evolving airway management technique that utilizes both devices to help secure difficult airways. They call it VIFI!   Here are some of the things you'll learn on this show: What is VIFI and how does it work? What are the advantages to using this technique?

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant changes in healthcare practices, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the adoption of new technologies. One area of focus has been the use of video laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation, which has been shown to reduce the risk of viral transmission to healthcare workers while also improving the accuracy of intubation. Join the PCRF Journal Club as we review a study that compared the transition from direct laryngoscopy to video laryngoscopy on endotracheal intubation success during the COVID19 Pandemic.

In this podcast, Dr. George Kovacs and I discuss all things video laryngoscopy: types of devices, variation in technique, use of a bougie and more. For more FOAM resus related content head to www.theresuscourse.com

Here we get into the advantages and challenges behind the two techniques; video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy. The conversation explores the fact that these skills are a key part of the job of practitioners, are we "de-skilling" the profession in an overly enthusiastic race toward new technology or are some resisting it simply because it's not what they are used to?

Video vs Augmented Direct Laryngoscopy in ED Adult Intubations: a NEAR Study by SAEM

This study compared first attempt intubation success using direct laryngoscopy augmented by laryngeal manipulation, ramped patient positioning and use of a bougie (A-DL) with unaided video laryngoscopy (VL) in adult emergency department intubations. Video laryngoscopy used without any augmenting maneuver, device or technique resulted in higher first attempt success than does direct laryngoscopy that is augmented by use of a bougie, external laryngeal manipulation, ramping, or combinations thereof.

Cliff Reid, Geoff Healy, and Chris Nickson discuss a fictionalised case from the Resuscitology course: "Oncology patient in resus", including airway management and failure of video laryngoscopy, and the challenges of resuscitation in the context of potentially terminal illness.

In the past two decades, airway management has been revolutionized by the development of video laryngoscopy, hyperangulated blade geometry, optical stylets, laryngeal masks, and a host of advances in airway pharmacology and technique. The core skill of airway management, however, remains laryngoscopy, whether or not the operator uses a blade with a camera at the end. In this presentation, we break down laryngoscopy into its discrete components and describe best practice technique at each step. We will start by describing common mistakes made in patient positioning; proposing a set of parameters the provider can use to guide positioning that is optimal for laryngoscopy, including the configuration of the patient in the bed, the bed height and head elevation, as well as provider stance. We then move into the effect of laryngoscope grip on operator catecholamine management and describe the optimal laryngoscope grip for emergency airway management. We next confront one of the core principles of RSI, the delay between medication administration and commencement of laryngoscopy, and propose an alternative approach that emphasizes early laryngoscopy with deliberate slowness. We turn our attention to the value of the jaw thrust–as performed by an assistant–during airway management, and then move into a step by step analysis of laryngoscopy as the blade moves into the mouth, down the tongue and ultimately to the glottis. We espouse suction as an underutilized device by emergency providers, and describe the two most important intra-laryngoscopy optimization maneuvers: optimization of the position of the head, and optimization of the position of the larynx. We discuss the value of using the gum elastic bougie for both difficult and routine intubations and describe pitfalls encountered when using the bougie (and how to manage them). We conclude by describing the 3-finger tracheal palpation method of endotracheal tube depth confirmation.

Through a case discussion, Dr. Calvin Brown III introduces the latest published airway research and discusses its impact on clinical practice.

  Each video larnygoscope model has its subtle quirks and troubleshooting techniques. The following techniques are useful when intubating with the Glidescope AVL: Consider a deliberately restricted laryngeal view to aid in tube placement. Do this by withdrawing the glidescope slightly. Verathon recommends that the glottic apperature should occupy the "upper 1/3 of the screen". Use the 1-4 step approach as per the Verathon official recommendations: see Verathon Glidescope Technique Video  Look at the mouth to introduce glidescope midline. Look at the screen to "obtain the best glottic view". Look at the mouth to introduce the ET tube. Look at the screen to pass the tube through the chords. Look at the patients mouth when initially inserting the ET tube into the mouth- not at the screen. Practice using VL! Try shifting the entire laryngoscope to the left to allow more room for insertion of the ET tube into the mouth.  When trying to pass the ET tube through the chords, hold the ET tube by the end furthest from the patients mouth. This will give you a longer lever arm. There is also a small grip on the Glidescope rigid stylet for this purpose; this grip can also be used to 'pop the stylet' when needed. Simply flick your thumb up.  Consider withdrawing the stylet 3-5 cm if having difficulty passing the tube through the chords. This will straighten the tip of the tube allowing it to follow the natural curve of the trachea.    For tip #3 I mention that you should be looking at the mouth while introducing the ET tube. During this, it is easier to slide the ET tube underneath the right sided flange that the glidescope has. This concept is illustrated in the Mgrath X blade below where this region is labeled as the "ET Contact Zone".       Thanks to all of our listeners around the world!
