@Paulo_SanPedro @jducanto That is only an opinion. Manikin and live use may give different experiences. I like my d looped bougie as the preloaded Endotracheal tube.

@HofkampMichael @MSharifpourMD @AirwayMxAcademy @bobfunn At ASA Michael, I’ll share a method to get better LMA/SGA insertion (Derived from SALAD Technique). Hold rigid suction left hand like it’s a laryngoscope, use it to compress tongue and lift epiglottis/bas of tongue—flattens the curves to improve insertion. It’s what I share
