I hate to ask which may be a stupid question. . I started CRNA school 2 months ago and stated clinical rotations this past week. My worry is that I am physically not strong as other people. . .I weigh less than a hundred pounds and I was wondering if this is a great disadvantage especially for intubating. I missed my first intubation attempt, although the patient was 350lbs and classified as a class IV. I did see the vocal cords but when it came time to intubate, my grip (of the laryngoscope) got weaker and I lost my view of the glottis and cords!!
I am just worried that I may not do well with intubations because I am not strong enough. Help!! What do you all think or suggest?
