Every result is a real PMID returned by NCBI. Nothing on this step is generated.

Ask OpenEvidence ↗

OpenEvidence opens in your own logged-in session with the question filled in. Nothing is fetched on your behalf — read it there, then add what you want to teach as a point below, citing the source it came from.

6 candidate papers

Ticked papers are the ones a deck may be built from. Unticking one needs a reason — the citation gate proves a paper exists, and nothing but you decides whether it should be taught. A tier badge appears where the paper’s publication type is known.

Runs the tiered searches, drafts one point per included paper, runs the citation gate and builds a draft deck — the steps below, unattended. Same-day build — drafted locally (medgemma:27b), confirmed against each abstract. The deck still lands in draft: nothing here approves anything.

A point with no source will not survive the gate. That is the point of the gate.

Videolaryngoscopy should be incorporated as a first-intention technique into routine clinical practice for airway management, not just as a rescue device. PMID 37763095 kept
For anticipated difficult intubation or cervical pathology, consider using videolaryngoscopy or fiberoptic bronchoscopy instead of direct laryngoscopy. PMID 41068968 kept
When direct laryngoscopy, videolaryngoscopy, and a Bonfils intubation endoscope (BIE) fail sequentially, combining videolaryngoscopy with BIE can be used as a rescue technique for endotracheal tube guidance. PMID 38746612 kept
If the primary airway plan fails, activate 'Code D' for help and attempt rescue with any of the three devices (tracheal tube, SGA, or face mask) without hierarchy until SpO2 remains ≥95%. PMID 41293142 kept

Checks every citation against PubMed, the DOI resolver, or a live fetch. Points that do not resolve are dropped and shown to you with the reason — never quietly softened.
