Impact of bed angle and height on intubation success during simulated endotracheal intubation in the ramped position

Abstract Objective The ramped position is often used during endotracheal intubation to improve oxygenation, improve laryngeal views, and reduce airway complications. We sought to compare the impact of ramp angle and bed height on intubation outcomes during simulated endotracheal intubation. Methods...
