It is more of a tiertiary device here for the Medics in most cases. We rarely use it without trying an ETT first, but I know of several places that use them for EMT-Basics where the MD wont let them ETT someone. Just does not make sense to me why EMT's cant tube. Only 1 medic in our county has used one and that was after he RSI'd a guy and could not get him tubed. Patient had some strange anatomy I was told. At any rate they are fairly easy to use from what I have seen/been told. Damn MAST Pants.
At any rate, I have drug us off topic again. So NDD, what do you think of the KING LT Airway adjunct?
