USE A VIDEOLARYNGOSCOPE
DEFAULT Videolaryngoscopy is now the recommended norm
Some folk will need to make changes.
We recently published a narrative review which discusses the challenges and myths around VL and gives guidance on default VL implementation from those who have done it

Cardiac arrest after a lung recruitment manoeuvre during anaesthesia.
Has anyone else had this happen?

How to introduce yourself to patients
What a very excellent statement this is.
Time to move on from ‘my name is Tim’

When should we be concerned about motor block following a spinal anaesthetic?
As >50% of patients had a significant motor block at 4h, Shippam et al have extended the trigger time for review to 6h.
Instead of 63% of patients, they now review 23%!

Do we need to redesign videolaryngoscopes?
Have you considered the usability and user experience of VL vs DL?
In this small study, the system usability scale score for DL was 86.6, while VL was 72.5
Participants reported VLs were 'unnecessarily complex' including in setup and maintenance.
Ways to improve this:
• standardising VLs to reduce the considerable variability that exists among different models;
• further developing devices that require a setup process as straightforward as that of the DL;
• creating systems whereby the logistical burden of using VLs is minimised such as by adopting universal VL practices, ensuring equipment is readily available, properly maintained and easily accessible as well as streamlining cleaning protocols to enhance user experience and acceptance.

Bougie vs. stylet in HAVL
Perry and @NicholasChrimes do not feel that Eum et al's recent RCT convincingly establishes the superiority of bougie over stylet use during hyperangulated videolaryngoscopy.

The more you know, the more you realize how much you don’t know. The less you know, the more you think you know everything. Knowledge is humbling. Ignorance is arrogant.
