A patient who is difficult to intubate is brought to the OR. Optimal conditions were met for intubation (positioning, drugs, difficult airway cart available, etc). After the first failed attempt at intubation, you are allowed to practice your excellent bag-mask ventilation. After a total of three failed intubation attempts, you are now unable to bag-mask ventilate your patient. You reposition the head and still not able to ventilate. Your CRNA/MDA is also not able to effectively bag-mask the patient. What do you expect will be the next course of action?
- A.
