ETT being advanced into the larynx. Note that the bevel is vertical so that the end of the tube can act like a wedge to open up the vocal folds. The tube is advanced to the laryngeal opening and kept as ventral as possible. Advancing the tube on inspiration, when the laryngeal opening is at its widest, will provide the best conditions for ETT placement. Courtesy of Chrisoula A Toupadakis Skouritakis
