5 years ago I complained that w HAVL “I can see but I can’t get the tube in”.

@doctimcook.bsky.social pointed out “that’s a prob w the operator, not the device”.

Having since learned HAVL I’ve used it routinely for 5 years w 100% FPS & never

I agree

Even as someone who had previously worked in the NHS, I found the new roles, titles and acronyms confusing at first

which prompted me to get a #HelloMyNameIs badge!

Roles should be
a) clearly visible
b) clearly stated

It’s clearly described in the paper….

Tube removal (+ FM/SGA ventilation) is the default action to exclude OI, not only if OI can't be excluded with FB. Tube removal + vent also necessary if desat occurs or sustained exhaled CO2 can't be restored (even if removing tube dangerous or OI apparently excluded w alternative technique).

I would alter “Assume no sustained exhaled CO2 = OI unless proven otherwise (by repeat VL/FOB/US/ODD)”
to
“Assume no sustained exhaled CO2 = OI. Remove tube inks unsafe. If unsafe exclude OI (by repeat VL/ & one of FOB/US/ODD)”

Current wording misrepresents the guideline.

I would change “Assume no sustained exhaled CO2” to
“Assume lack of sustained exhaled CO2” (or “failure to meet the criteria for….”) to avoid any possibly of conflating with “NO trace”

(Gestalt notwithstanding!)
