Placing the Intubating Laryngeal Airway
Posted by Scott D. Weingart, MD FACEP in Critical Care on March 16th, 2011
My favorite supraglottic airway is the Cookgas Air-Q; it was created by an anesthesiologist, Dr. Daniel Cook (As always, I have no conflicts of interest). He just created a new device that allows the placement of an esophageal blocker through the laryngeal airway. I gave him a call to hear about the new product and in the course of that conversation, he gave me a ton of tips on the placement of laryngeal airways in general. Sorry about the audio quality, his cell phone was probably AT&T : ).
