Miller vs Mac Contraversey!

Hey

Yes the reason i use a miller as opposed to a mac has more to do with the decrease in visibility with the mac due to the curve of the blade. Hold 2 of them side by side where the connecting point of the blades are level. Turn them to the side. You notice a .5 cm difference (or so) in how far the curved blade obscures the view. In my experience the less i have to manipulate the better, with .5 cm in the difference looking straight down the blade i find i lift less, a technique taught to me by an MDA here. Works well!

The glidescope is cool, but has no place in pre hospital. Sadly, a bloody airway ruins it Ive played with it on a couple occasions in the OR and was amazed. Do you use it all the time or is it just a toy for here and there?

good points all!

Funny how everyone is different isnt it? There is no answer except "whatever gets the tube in"

Its fun to debate though.
