The application of cricoid force remains controversial in modern practice. A new review by Sotiriou et al. critically assesses the anatomic, physiologic, and contemporary clinical evidence of cricoid force application: ow.ly/Mkx350WY3Zy

Safe Airway Society (a not-for-profit org. in Australia & New Zealand; aiming to optimize safe, effective patient care through a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to airway management across different healthcare roles & settings) leaves X (3.699 followers) Bluesky: @safeairwaysociety.org

The @universalairway.org guidelines for preventing unrecognised oesophageal intubation are supported by @safeairwaysociety.org, @anzca.bsky.social & @dasairway.bsky.social VL should be used routinely whenever feasible. Clinical signs should not be used to exclude oesophageal intubation.

The Safe Airway Liaison Group in the UK have released a statement on displaying the waveform capnography trace in line with the @universalairway.org recommendations. The CO2 trace should be: 1. The bottom trace 2. White 3. Shaded in www.salg.ac.uk/salg-publica...

🚨We have retired "no trace, wrong place" to align with PUMA guidelines. Instead, with @assocanaes.bsky.social and @dasairway.bsky.social, our message is that if sustained exhaled CO2 is not detected, then oesophageal intubation must be ruled out. See our dedicated webpage👉 ow.ly/vOZs50WA03r

I’ve used this - it’s worth a look

The sats probe tells you what happened in the past- the capnograph tells you what will happen in the future

To paraphrase Dr Tim Cook, ‘can see - can’t tube’ is a problem with the operator not the scope.

Ha! I have placed many, many DLTs but from now on I shall use this prof Silvers method!! 👌🏼

One question is what term we will use to describe the extra precautions we would take in someone we consider being at risk of aspiration. Aspiration Safe Intubation (ASI)?

“The term & concept of RSI should be abandoned due to the simplistic rationale behind it, the absence of evidence to support it & its potential for harm.” #VortexDebate #AnSky #MedSky

Ok it’s time for the very first Midweek #AnSkyMedSkyDebate, which I will call the #VortexDebate after the wonderful @chrimesy.com#AnSkyMedSkyDebate#VortexDebate Come on let’s get our opinions out and have a good robust discussion. See next comment for the topic. #AnSky #MedSky

I’ll take that…

A good study on actual trained anaesthetists in Europe… we all know VL is good, so where is the guidance I can wave at purchasing to let us have more than one glidescope between seven theatres*? Said guidance also needs to let us train and maintain DL as a core competency (*hyperbole)

Should we use universal videolaryngoscopy in real-world operating theatre settings? YES! ↑ rate of easy intubation ↑ rate successful first-attempt intubation ↓ incidence of difficult laryngoscopy ↓ complications related to intubation #AnSky #AirwaySky #MedSky doi.org/10.1111/anae...

In adult patients undergoing tracheal intubation in real-world operating theatre settings, universal VL showed clear advantages over direct laryngoscopy. This is the largest comparative analysis conducted to date! #AnSky #AirwaySky #MedSky doi.org/10.1111/anae...

These are the interventions that can take an ED or ICU airway program from safe first pass success in the 80s to >=95% (where u need to be to call yourself excellent) @safeairway @cliffreid @doctimcook It is free for a limited time at this link:
