What are the disadvantages of 'total videoscopic tracheal intubation'?

• ⬆️ stress response
• ⬆️ risk of airway trauma
• awkward ergonomics
• prevents airway operator managing other aspects of induction

important thread 👇

{norepi + vaso} can often induce a state of *normotensive* vasoconstrictive shock

this is why I dislike blind algorithms that start with NE, then pile on vaso on without considering global hemodynamics

for experts, there is no such thing as a “1st/2nd/3rd line” pressor #EMIMCC
If the LV of the patient with sepsis is «hyperdynamic» when on noradrenaline, then EF dropps and the LV looks poorly when vasopressin is added, but recovers to normal with dobutamine, you likely haven’t «uncovered hidden LV dysfunction» or septic cardiomyopathy. #emimcc #pocus #echofirst 1/

My entry for the @sivatrainees.bsky.social #SIVA24 infographic competition.

Is there one model to rule them all? Well tbh I think it doesn't matter all that much, as long as you know your model well!

You can find a more detailed explanation on my website: hibalazs.net/anaesthesia/...

Ding et al argued a benefit of #AugmentedReality laryngoscopy was improved intubation ergonomics.

Inoue et al state "it may not be accurate to claim that all users adopt a forward-leaning posture".

Your thoughts?

There’s definitely a difference in posture between novices and experts. Tobi Grundgeiger and his team noted this:

It could be that experts benefit in different areas like leg and neck flexion?

I’d love to hear from the rest of #pocusky and #emimcc. Do you use curvilinear probes for procedures?
I can’t recommend a microconvex enough. It’s invaluable for drains as it’s footprints so small so you can rotate it as you like and still have room for a cannula between the ribs. It’s also a game changer for CVCs as you can master the supraclav fossa view.
