Great video, I have ran into that issue intubating with a hyperangulated blade. Rotating definitely helps pass the tube like you demonstrated. I think it's important to mention keeping some of the stylet in the tube while you advance so the tube doesn't bend as you try to advance
Great advice. You need to retract some of the stylet to soften the tip of the tube but you can pull back too far and make it harder. Usually 2-3 cm is enough at first, and then you can retract more as you advance the tube.
I find that to be a common problem. It's why we did this video. You have to think of the rigid stylet as a second intubation tool that has its own set of skills in order to use it well. I have a whole class on hyperangulated blades on the website here. theprotectedairway.com/masterclass-for-the-hyperangulated-blade/ Let me know what you think!
