Folks, they said it could not be done. Then Dr Yen Chow showed them it could be. And now JD Ggraziano and his paramedic buddies show you too..it can be done. And for those wondering..thats a MAC4 bladed laryngoscope JD is wielding in the video
What’s that? Endotracheal intubation with a great big Supraglottic airway in situ.
Thank these folks here!

Nice! Great idea to expand on. Very smooth procedure. The ripples from FOAMed continue … Thanks Jim (@jducanto) and Minh (@rfdsdoc).
I applaud you guys! It was a bit like watching the movie “Avatar”, but with Paramedics, which makes it even cooler. Can you set your transport ventilator to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP mode)–that will give you continuous O2 flow during the procedure you demonstrated? Otherwise, If you leave the ventilator in the other mode (the mode it was in during the movie), you’ll get a tremendously fast response in eliminating the delay between the placement of the tracheal tube, connection to the respiratory gas circuit and initiation of ventilation. In your video, it was lightning quick. That is a detail that I want to single out and applaud (especially). You’ve eliminated a lot of wasted movements and wasted time by doing it this way. Dude, that’s evolutionary.
yeah it was pretty slick move 😉
