This week, as we continue our journey through Protected Airway Collaboratives' "Evolution of the Tube Introducer" learning space, we move on to innovative devices that integrate bougies into their DNA. Here is one. The #VieScope https://t.co/wGCtxsTtrJ
What would you rather do if a patient needs an urgent airway & routine DL/VL have failed?
Cut the neck open?
(Have you ever done that?) or
Use something that helps pass a bougie through the cords?
The Vie Scope®️ method has been shown to reduce eFONA
FYI - @TruCorp_ manikin set to near impossible

Vie Scope®️ intubation of a patient with spondyloarthritis with no neck movement
Patient demonstrates severe kyphosis
Grade 1 view & no neck movement during intubation

This #airway technique can make #intubation easier for the #patient & you
It has been shown to ⬇️ crics & everyone can learn & use it
Large goiter with sub sternal extension & tracheal/vascular compression with laryngeal edema - elective awake intubation

Dr. Schauer @armyemdoc would like to re introduce ETI into the military
I agree with him as technology makes it easier now
TCCC guidelines exclude ETI in the field & suggest SGA/cric preferably.
It makes no sense & needs to change to modern standards
