MS-4 here most likely headed to Anesthesiology. So far I've done about a dozen or so intubations with about a 50-60% success rate. I get to the epiglottis then I start having trouble if the patient's head won't extend back far enough to get a better view of the cords or if they're just really obese or if they have super fragile teeth.
About what point in training do Gas residents develop proficiency in airway management. Given that most intern years maybe just have 1 month of Anesthesia, what's the starting point for CA-1's then? When do residents start their own cases or cover the airway team solo?
