Recorded webinar (10/27/2023) in which Dr. Marv Wayne presents and narrates a series of prehospital video laryngoscopy cases to teach airway technique. He emphasizes the role of the hyoepiglottic ligament in exposing the glottis, demonstrates common failure modes (loss of lift/"weak wrist", airway clutter from vomitus/food, rapidly developing post-burn swelling, severe epiglottitis), and reviews equipment choices (UEscope with ~5° blade angulation, Glidescope history, bougie use). He also describes program-level practices: automatic video recording, supervisor review, checklist/CQI workflow, and metrics (IGEL use with 15–20% converting to intubation, ~100 IGEL/year, cricothyrotomy ~1 per 4.3 years).

Questions this video answers

The hyoepiglottic ligament (engage-and-lift maneuver).

UEscope blade with approximately 5° angulation at the tip.

Between 15% and 20% of IGEL placements were subsequently intubated.

About 100 IGEL placements per year (he reviewed 512 placements across multiple years).

About one cricothyrotomy every 4.3 years (on average).
