So does he leave the LMA in and then the ET tube is more distal? Looks really cool.
This LMA is the Air-Q, and it was built from the ground up as a tracheal tube introducer, sort of the way 9 french introducers were made for Swan Ganz catheters. A standard length tracheal does the job nicely through the Air-Q. This is a staged intubation, using the Air-Q as both a ventilatory tool as well as a tracheal tube introducer. Blind intubation is possible through the Air-Q, but it has a lower success rate than the Fastrack. Optical stylets work so well through the Air-Q–you don’t need a flexible.

there are alot of failed intubation cases with air Q either reusable or disposable
