Difficulty intubating...

Hi all,

I am just returning full time to EMS and have been having diffiulty intubating since it has been a while (was working full time as an ER RN)... I get the tubes in, but I can always only see the cuniieform cartligage so it looks like all my patients are grade fours, but I know they are not, and its me...

I use a mac (tried miller and I cant see anything when using that blade) and I even put them in the sniffing position if I am able to and I don't bend my wrist and I pull up and towards the feet and still I cannot get a full view of the cords ever.

Just wondring if someone could offer some tips on what I may be doing wrong. I know intubation takes practice, and again it has been a while, but I am frustrated! When I initialy did my OR clinical time (that was six years ago) I got my first non manequin tube in no problem, so I know I have it in me...

Thanks for any advice.
