Use of a videolaryngoscope with a hyperangulated blade has the potential to allow easy intubation of patients in whom direct laryngoscopy might be difficult or impossible. However, learning the correct technique, which varies markedly from the technique for direct laryngoscopy, is crucial to yielding these benefits. In inexperienced hands, the hyperangulated blade may complicate even straightforward intubations.

Having performed around 6000 videolaryngoscopic intubations, anesthesiologist Richard Cooper is one of the world's leading experts in hyperangulated videolaryngoscopy. In this one hour session host Nicholas Chrimes invites him to take us step-by-step through the technique he has refined over the course of his career.
