- Awake intubation May 14, 2013I had some fun today getting intubated. We used the Ambu aScope 2 and the Greater Sydney Area HEMS equipment and approach to airway management.

Nice use of the flip-flop maenouvre to avoid R arytenoid ‘hang-up’
I wonder, would the Kiwi grip (a la Paul Baker) help avoid difficulties railroading ETT to bougie.
..and was Dr Du Canto calling his co-pilot “sweetie”? Must be a CRM teamwork thing…
The new (and slightly overzealous nurse) was the “sweetie”, not the CoPilot!
It’s a good device. The side loading bougie port does aim a little low–the manufacturer is aware of that, and plans a minor upgrade soon to address this problem. The orange bougie is proprietary to the device.
Smaller than a Glidescope Ranger, the overall profile of the device is also smaller than than the Glidescope. The device can also be disarticulated, should that be required. The angle of the blade is very close to the Glidescope.
