Resus Pieces My two take aways 1 yes for those predicted difficults that donโt merit ATI then HAVL should be the plan More importantly 2 HAVL expertise is a core skill for anyone who calls themselves an airway manager in 2024 ๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฆ๐ด๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ด๐ช๐ข

So.. who is using the Cooper manoeuvre!? Has anyone tried it? Any thoughts? Nicholas Chrimes ๐โฆ-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/anโฆ
What is the Cooper manoeuvre? Vertical lifting of the tracheal tube until its tip is level with the glottis. Avoid an exaggerated posterior tilt - this makes it more likely to โhang upโ on the arytenoid cartilages. Nicholas Chrimes ๐โฆ-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/anโฆ

Sam Ghali, M.D. Anaesthesia, ICU, ED, PHEM CAPNOGRAPHY is THE only reliable way to confirm correct position of a tracheal tube. In life and in cardiac arrest. Clinical signs are of close to zero value. Look for sustained exhaled CO2: ie - goes up & down with ventilation - sustained - above 1
