Totally agree! Intubation in cardiac arrest with mechanical CPR much easier! 👍😊 thanks for the great comments ♥️

In pure medical cardiac arrest patients while using the Autopulse, placing a foam block or in my case using the "CPR Pillow" stabilizes the head and provides a superior visualization for VL. Pillow + VL + Bougie has been a total game changer for me. I have not found it necessary to stop mechanical CPR to intubate, and if timed to coincide with a pulse/rhythm check only a brief pause for the subjective tube verification needed. Manual CPR is more likely to make intubation difficult since its a bit more "messy" as in harder, faster, less rhythmic. No COI on that pillow. I'm just a huge fan of it.

Totally agree Nathan. Bougie is great in these situations, and mechanical CPR devices definitely provide a smoother delivery of CPR, and that allows for easier intubation without interruption of compressions.
