7. When things go wrong

   CerebralCRNA replied to 4amcoffee's topic in CRNA

   CerebralCRNA replied to mav493's topic in SRNA

15. learning to intubate

    CerebralCRNA replied to cube's topic in CRNA

    My advice, alternate each case ---Miller--Mac--Miller--Mac---etc Get proficient with both blades and use alternative methods to intubate. Don't let your first time with a blade or device be under emergent conditions.
