Standard SALAD Approach a) The rigid suction catheter (RSC) is gripped overhand. b) The RSC displaces the structures of the upper airway. c) The airway is continuously suctioned as the laryngoscope blade is positioned. d) The RSC is withdrawn and repositioned to the left of the laryngoscope blade and seated in the hypopharynx in order to provide continuous suction. e) The endotracheal tube is delivered through the vocal cords. f) The endotracheal tube is suctioned prior to ventilation.
