MRCEM Notes

Laryngoscopy

During intubation the larygoscope blade is inserted in to the vallecula.

During a grade one Cormack and Lehane view (i.e optimum view where all the structures are visible) the epiglottis is seen superiorly, both the true and false vocal can be seen, the arytenoid cartilage is seen inferiorly.
