you sweep the tongue to the left to give you more space in the mouth and to better visualize the epiglottis / vocal coords. if you dont do this it makes it more difficult to visualize structures and manipulate the ET tube past the vocal coords.

Why dont you just stop the video Einstein

The easiest and fastest method is not even shown. I do the scissor maneuver, opening the mouth with the LEFT hand. Insert the blade and sweeping the tongue to the midline...change hands and lift. Fastest method there is. Also, least likely to chip teeth, cut lips. Try it...you'll like it.

@yonigga223 You're not retarded. I realize it's been a while since your post, but just in case I'm still going to comment. There are a lot of factors that come into play when trying to intubate. For starters, are you sure you are using a long enough blade? Are you making sure that the type of blade you are using matches the method of lifting? Another important factor is getting the blade in far enough. For a typical adult a size 3 should suffice, if not go to a 4 but put all the way in.

How do you get the fucking epiglottis to lift? I can't do it. I've tried the bullshit technique of lifting toward the corner of the room and it DOESN'T WORK! I'm tired of watching these videos that all say the same thing and it doesn't help. Am I just retarded or what?

Well, there are different designs of laryngoscope blade. Probably the most common by far is the Macintosh, which is curved (straight bladed designs are almost all for paediatric use)

in fact my friends dad was a doctor, dead now, we cleaned out his stuff, gave equipment to charity, his intubation kit was smooth, no angles like this for left hand tube insertion, it was like a curved shoe horn.

Was defibrilator, ecg machine, suitcase full of drugs, but they handed them in!

[Hanglands]

No, there is one way, and that is that you shift the tongue to the left. Unless you are a particularly specific anaesthetist who is left handed and insist on using a left-handed laryngoscope and as such shift the tongue to the right.
