@jmpeyton @AirwayMxAcademy @DrRaniChahal @BobTeskey @doctimcook This can be a double edged sword. If the whole room wrongly *believes* they saw the tube go through the cords it can create a greater barrier to removal despite absence of ETCO2. Beware ‘glottic impersonation’. https://t.co/n6Ws35wvca https://t.co/MrTMAW5bHM

Great case of "glottic impersonation", where proximal esophagus can mimic glottis. This is why it's important to be methodical with laryngoscopy and to NEVER rely solely on direct visualization for ETT placement. Always confirm placement with waveform CO2. https://t.co/ckcs2P3vGp

Second video clip: advancing the laryngoscope too far is a common error, which can result in ‘glottic impersonation’ … the landmark of interest is actually the epiglottis. Another reminder to always use capnography. And adopt a mindset of clinical humility. https://t.co/JYvz79rbBP

@OBsleepmerchant @EM_RESUS @expensivecare @HandtevyMD @otolaryngolofox @drlauraduggan @jducanto @duvvuri_md @airwayGladiator @jstgeorgemd @bobfunn @DalAnesthesia True. The idea of heaving up the larynx especially with HAVL makes angling the tube superiorly problematic. A less than ideal view lines up tube entry.

@doc_alok Depends on contex: consider bronchoscopy (if available in reasonable timeframe) or *advancing* ETT (oesophageal should advance freely, tracheal will have hold-up). I’ve certainly intubated the oesophagus due to glottic impersonation in a clinical setting.

@doc_alok Firstly the tube can move, secondly we see what we expect to see, thirdly ‘glottic impersonation’. https://t.co/n6Ws35wvca

@jmpeyton @AirwayMxAcademy @DrRaniChahal @BobTeskey @doctimcook This can be a double edged sword. If the whole room wrongly *believes* they saw the tube go through the cords it can create a greater barrier to removal despite absence of ETCO2. Beware ‘glottic impersonation’. https://t.co/n6Ws35wvca https://t.co/MrTMAW5bHM

@McGinnRyan Would just caution that “seeing the tube pass through the cords” can be problematic. Waveform ETCO2 should be the gold standard. https://t.co/vNzRAxoVMC @kovacsgj @drlauraduggan @docpgb

@propublica @doctimcook Supraglottic devices much easier to place, have good pre-hospital evidence, but also require waveform capnography Saw the tube go through the vocal cords? Believe waveform capnography over your eyes. Waveform CO2 occurs in arrest too No excuses. 3/3 https://t.co/YgFeaKEPc3 https://t.co/sNgid8OUoR

@Donteatmagnets I still prefer find epiglottis 1st, then find post cartilages notch to ensure ID laryngeal inlet, then can use Miller as Mac or direct lift epiglottis whichever works best. Finding epiglott/notch helps avoid vocal cord con "glottic impersonation" which can fool stressed/less XP'd https://t.co/dZkAQMEwye
