I understand the aintree’s ideal but not when using a smaller tube/lma. What I do iin emergency is insert ETT halfway into the LMA, inflate the cuff and attach swivel to tube. This allows for ventilation and inserting a Fibrescope. Once carina is visualised deflate ETT cuff and advance tube into the trachea. A microlaryngeal tube or fasttrach tube is ideal for this because it’s longer. LMA stays in place since it’s removal can be delayed until after the emergency
You are looking good Mark very nice demonstration .
Very good, specially the coments about the classic LMA, pro seal and supreme ;-)
