  1. For anyone interested in #intubation and #criticalcare... I'm playing around with a modern computer game library (#babylonjs) to work up a bit of a play ground for exploring the intubation of geometry.

  2. With or without VL, intubation should be performed with a head elevation with a pillow of 7 cm and no neck extension.

  3. #intubation geometry. I posted this on the bird site two years ago. This needs more attention. Maxillary arch and #laryngoscope in grey. Different tube locations in colours. Key thing is the anterior displacement at the level of the #glottis.

    I'm pretty sure that swinging the tube into the pink position by sliding down beside the molars and having the tube upright is one of differences between experienced intubators and novices.

    As far as I know this has not been previously described. Please share and tag in #CriticalCare and #anaesthesia specialists.
