Does your role (eg consultant, resident, nurse etc) affect how quickly you learn to use HAVL if you already know how to use DL?

No.

12 tracheal intubations were needed to reach proficiency across all clinician groups.

“Flextension” rather than “sniffing the air” position.
I like it!
It's time for some new airway terminology!

Introducing "flextension" - flexion of the lower cervical spine & extension of the upper cervical spine

It is the optimal position for non-infant airway management
