Upgrade Your Mental Model for Intubating in the Age of the Video Laryngoscope - With Dr Sean Runnels

"The view was easy but I had trouble passing the tube!" If you've ever had this experience with a video laryngoscope (VL), then maybe it's time to upgrade your mental model for intubation.
In the age of the direct laryngoscope, where visualization and a direct line of sight was key, the model of lining up axes made sense. But does it still make sense when visualization issues in most cases are solved by devices that look around corners? Is it time for a paradigm shift?
I was able to spend time with Dr Sean Runnels, inventor of a dynamic tracheal access device designed for the age of VL, and there is no one I know who has thought more about his problem and begun the process of rethinking our approach from the ground up.
Join us for the first installment of my discussion with him and you will walk away with a new understanding of some of the current challenges we face to improve our overall success rate at tracheal access.
