Airway Management in the Offshore Rescue Helicopter: Evaluation of Tracheal Intubation in Alternative Positions

Sideway intubation using VLS is a viable alternative when standard positioning is not possible. The icepick method is not recommended due to lower success rates and prolonged intubation times. These findings have implications for airway management in confined and atypical environments.

Abstract

Sideway intubation using VLS is a viable alternative when standard positioning is not possible. The icepick method is not recommended due to lower success rates and prolonged intubation times. These findings have implications for airway management in confined and atypical environments.
