Absolutely horrific night in Ukraine last night - 44 ballistic missiles and 659 drones fired from Russia. Deaths in Kyiv, Odessa and Dnipro. Not even bothering to hide the fact that it is residential areas under attack. Barely on the news outside Ukraine. And @JDVance says he is proud that USA has pulled its support so the aggressor can keep aggressing. Disgusting. But Europe has to do even more now

Use, (all the time unless ati:fb indicated)
Teach VL
Learn VL
@dasairway guidelines out
USE A VIDEOLARYNGOSCOPE
DEFAULT Videolaryngoscopy is now the recommended norm
Some folk will need to make changes.
We recently published a narrative review which discusses the challenges and myths around VL and gives guidance on default VL implementation from those who have done it
