Each time we see a seriously ill Each time we see a seriously ill or injured patient in the ED . . or injured patient in the ED . .
….we must ask….we must ask
1. Does this patient need ETI now?
2. Will this patient need ETI in the near future?
3. How long do I have to completethe procedure?

What is my best approach? What will I do if my first approach fails?
Do I have the means and materials at the bedside for both?

Laryngoscopy- technique
Left hand• holds and slowly advances laryngoscope• blade sweeps tongue from right to left• elevating epiglottis to identify cords
Right hand opens mouth then extends head• optimizes sniff position

Laryngoscopy - pitfalls
pushing the laryngoscope blade too far folds epiglottis down onto glottis
loss of stereoscopic vision rocking the laryngoscope backwards to lift the epiglottis
breaks teeth and obscures view
hurrying
