Our hands-on workshop, “Adjuncts to Intubation Management & Airway Skills,” brought critical airway training to life 🫁
Dr. Flibotte worked alongside our transport team to teach strategies for managing difficult airways and safe intubation. #MedEd #AirwayManagement
An unconscious person's greatest threat is a blocked airway, usually by their own tongue. 😮💨

The Modern Airway Strategy
With high-quality disposable tech, fiberoptic power is finally "barbarian-proof" and available 24/7. Don't use 2026 tech with 1940s strategies—master tool synergy and combined techniques to save lives. #MedTech #FOAMed #AirwayManagement
Are you using the Combined Technique?
If you have the view but can't pass the tube, add a flexible scope for a precision strike. Use the VL screen to find the cords, then glide the scope through. No trauma, no stress—just a secured airway. #FOAMed #VAFEI #AirwayManagement
The Disposable Revolution
Single-use tools give the ED a "menu" of OR-level options. Hot-swap blades in seconds, use 2nd-gen SGAs, and leverage "barbarian-proof" flexible scopes without fear. Treat the tech like gold, but use it! #MedTech #FOAMed #AirwayManagement
How to Use your SGA as a GPS
When you can’t intubate but can ventilate, the LMA is a delivery system. Use a flexible endoscope through the LMA for a safe, oxygenated, and precise pass. Don't poke blindly; let the tech guide you. #LMA #AirwayManagement
Intubation used to be a lot scarier 😱
Relying on a straight line of sight meant difficult anatomy often left you flying blind. Modern VL turns scary surprises into manageable procedures. Don't risk it—relying on your eyes alone is an unnecessary risk in 2026. #AirwayManagement #FOAMed
From blind intubations to RSI
From jamming tubes down noses to 4K video, medicine has evolved. Modern meds like Sux and a "menu" of VL/DL tools make airway management safer and more humane. Don't take current tech for granted! #MedHistory #FOAMed #AirwayManagement
Slow down to speed up
Rushing leads to mistakes. For ultimate success, use a checklist every time. Standard VL + a bougie is your "cheat code." If the view fails, don't force it—pivot to an SGA and prioritize ventilation. 💨 #PatientSafety #FOAMed #AirwayManagement
A perfect view ≠ success
The "pretty picture" on hyperangulated VL is a trap. If the glottis fills the screen, there's no room to pass the tube. To win, "degrade" your view: back the blade off to straighten the path and create space. 📉 #FOAMed #AirwayManagement
The VL vs. DL Debate is Over
Brands like GlideScope and C-MAC offer multiple shapes, so specify the geometry, not the brand. Standard video is the gold standard, letting you use the screen or a direct view. 🏷️ #FOAMed #AirwayManagement

Why you should start teaching airway with VL first
Start with video so mentors can actually coach what you see. Standard VL builds the same physical skills as DL but with a safety net. Master the tech first, then prep for "blackout" scenarios when batteries fail. 🔋 #MedEd #FOAMed #AirwayManagement
Which is better: standard or hyperangulated VL?
Don’t mistake a perfect view for an easy tube pass! While both VL types beat traditional DL, hyperangulated blades often make navigating the "corner" harder. Mastery of your blade’s physics matters more than the brand. 🚑 #FOAMed #AirwayManagement
Stop confusing VL with hyperangulated laryngoscopy
VL is the tech (camera + screen), while DL is the technique (line of sight). You can do both at once with standard blades. Hyperangulated blades are specialized tools, not a default upgrade. 🚑

😮 Airway difficulty is common in cervical anomalies, especially in mucopolysaccharidoses and skeletal dysplasias. Think large tongue, thickened airway tissues and limited neck movement.
