Discussion points
1. Regular consultant training of fine motor skills with the D-blade is recommended.
2. Every intubation in ED should entail preparedness for a surgical airway.
3. The teaching of airway skills in ED requires vigilance around careful positioning of the patient and fastidious attention to equipment preparation.
4. As a teaching hospital every opportunity should be taken to teach airway management skills to junior staff.
