| Sniffing position.....facilitate visualization of the glottic opening.....Sellick Maneuver is controversial.....use caution inserting blade... | Components of Positioning the patient for optimal airway visualization |
| Also called cricoid pressure.....used to help prevent gastric contents regurgitating into the lungs but studies show it does not significantly decrease the risk or visualization of glottis opening... | Sellick maneuver |
| This is the first part of proving ETT placement... | visualize the ETT passing through the vocal cords |

| Tube management consists of..... | secure the tube and note the depth of initial tube placement |
| Reasons to continue to administer sedative/analgesia after intubation... | patient comfort, to decrease oxygen demand, to decrease ICP |

| Good option as an induction agent for patients with reactive airway disease or who are hypovolemic, hemorrhaging, or in shock... | ketamine |
| Not routinely recommended for RSI but may use for post-intubation management.... | Versed |
