  • Ok so how come you were able to do that blind? ie. not visualize the vocal cords

  • @MatthewKassis It is a blind insertion airway so visualization of the vocal cords is not necessary.

  • Look for more narrated videos in the future.

  • No I am not a mute. Thanks for asking.

  • Thanks for the video, but just curious as to why no bite block was used and no pulling up to check for airway compliance?

  • @MatthewKassis It's a supraglottic airway dude. the distal end goes into the esophagus and the distal cuff inflates to block it off.

  • @MatthewKassis King LT does not go into the trachea.

  • Thank you for the demonstration. My agency is switching from combi tubes to the king lt airway. Looks a lot easier

  • Very cool! I just read part of a study talking about interruption of chest compressions during CPR, and intubation attempts with a normal ET tube were the prime culprit. In one case there were nine attempts to intubate, in another the medic spent almost 4 minutes in one attempt. Obviously chest compressions are not going on during that time! I think the Combitube and King LT are, in general, far better than ET tubes for prehospital.

  • Very good demonstration well shot and timing. Oregon indicates lubing on the anterior side of the tube keeping lubricant away from the airway.

  • pretty good but you probably shouldn't lubricate the ventilation holes, this may hinder your ventilations.
