Abstract
•Trouble shooting during C Mac D Blade videolaryngoscopic intubation highlighted.•Methods to facilitate glottic entry: passive neck flexion, rotatory motion of ETT.•Keeping the ETT parallel to floor while insertion in limited mouth opening patients.•Partial withdrawal of D blade decreases the POGOscore, but facilitates intubation.•Pilot balloon inflation angulates the ETT tip upwards/anteriorly towards the larynx.
The C MAC™ D blade videolaryngoscope is used for difficult airway management under vision. Difficulties with its use can arise at different junctures. We present a comprehensive summary of the common problems and their solutions for efficient trouble shooting during intubation with the C MAC D blade.
