Wait...y'all have KVs down there!?!?
I love how it's the same state but for all intents and purposes two different states when it comes to our EMS system.

Yeah. It's strange. We operate under SOUTHERN Nevada Health District. Kind of weird how they split it like that. What's your certifying agency?
And yes we got them about 2 weeks ago.

I am having a terrible time with the King Vision on real patients! I expected it to be a huge help, but I simply can't seem to get the distal end of the ETT anterior enough using the channeled blade. View hasn't been a problem, but I haven't been able to direct the tube itself where I want it at all. I realize you sometimes have to pull out slightly more than anticipated due to where the tube is vs. the camera lens, but this still hasn't helped.
Has anyone else had problems like this? I'm open to all suggestions.

The channeled blades don't work well with tubes over 7.0 really. You need to lube the distal end very well. I usually have better luck with channeled and a bougie than channeled ans a tube
