OP,
Do you know how to improve the view that is worsened with cricoid while still maintaining cricoid pressure?
I never understood this band-wagon to abandon cricoid pressure.
Here is the argument. “Hey. Sometimes cricoid pressure isn’t hard enough and sometimes the esophagus isn’t in a good position for it to work well, so we should abandon the practice all together, even though it probably works most of the time.” It’s a weird argument to me.
Sometimes my A-line doesn’t work. I still use and promote it when appropriate however.
