When people perform 2 thumbs-down FMV they often make this mistake. DON'T place your fingers under the chin and push the tongue and other structures into the oropharynx. INSTEAD, place them at the angle of the mandible and PULL UP into the mask in a JAW THRUST. You can see a complete demonstration here. theprotectedairway.com/face-mask-vent…

Intubation attempt #1 failed, and now you have to bag them back up. This technique has been referred to as the "silo" or "barrel" technique. I prefer to call it the "bowling ball" 🎳 technique. Placement of 2 NPAs and an OPA significantly increases the cross-sectional diameter of the airway that is stented open. This will prevent airway tissue collapse as you apply external positive pressure. The safety pins shown are to keep the NPA from getting dislodged in the airway if the flared end is smaller. This is not usually necessary with the newer designs.
