HANG UP ON LARYNGEAL STRUCTURES WHILE ATTEMPTING INTUBATION

Genesis Airway thanks Airway On Demand for allowing us to use this instructional video demonstrating hang up on laryngeal structures whilst using an ETT with a lateral facing bevel – relieved by rotating the ETT 90° so that the bevel is posterior facing.

The importance of first pass intubation is paramount for any intubation, but vital for unplanned emergency surgery and patients with difficult airways. For this reason, all Genesis products have posterior facing bevels with curved atraumatic tips ensuring the ETT is centred on the FOB or bougie.
