It was great meeting the Iowa Central EMS Programs team at National Association of EMS Educators and hearing their mission firsthand.

Their commitment was clear: give students hands on experience with new technology and prepare them for the tools they may encounter in the field.

We’re proud IntuBlade gets to be part of that training 💪🏻

You don’t rise to the occasion. You fall to your training.

But it’s hard to build confidence when more time is spent watching than doing.

More hands on devices. More meaningful reps. More opportunities to learn before the airway is real.

That’s the kind of training access we believe in.

Honored to have our CEO Dr. Andrew Napier leading this conversation at the NAEMSE Symposium.

The gap between how we train and how we practice is real and it’s worth talking about. See you in Reno 💪🏻

NEW SESSION ADDED TO NAEMSE SYMPOSIUM WITH AN Eastern Kentucky University CONNECTION!

Dr. Napier is a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University

The Airway Gap: Aligning EMS Education With Modern Clinical Practice
Speaker: Dr. Andrew Napier

Paramedic students are often taught airway management using equipment and methods that do not match current field practice. At the same time, an increasing number of EMS systems have adopted video laryngoscopy as a primary intubation device. The result is a growing gap between how providers are trained and what they are expected to do when the airway is difficult and the stakes are high.

In this session, Dr. Andrew Napier, emergency physician, former Army combat medic who managed trauma patients during combat operations in Afghanistan, and founder of IntuBlade reviews the evidence behind video laryngoscopy in prehospital care. The session will examine first-pass success, the challenges of preparing providers with equipment that differs from what they will use in practice, and how familiarity with airway equipment affects performance under pressure.

This is not a product presentation. It is a clinical discussion about whether airway education has kept pace with modern prehospital care and what EMS educators can do to close that gap.

What if every intubation could improve your entire department?

Use IntuBlade with our free mobile app on compatible USB-C phones or tablets. During the procedure display the live airway on a larger screen using your device's built-in screen sharing, giving everyone the same view.

Every case is automatically recorded and securely saved through the app, whether it happens in the field, the ED, or a simulation lab. No SD cards. No file transfers. No extra workflow.

When the case is over, it's already where you need it for case review, QA/QI, M&M conferences, department meetings, onboarding, or education.

The procedure ends. The learning doesn't.

See it live. Review it later. Learn from every case.

Better airway care isn't just about better technology. It's about technology providers can actually put into practice.

That's what made our week at Kissimmee Fire's EMS Skills Week so meaningful.

Watching crews work through real airway scenarios reinforced something we've always believed: when implementation is simple and the workflow feels familiar, confidence grows—and that means more providers are ready when the next patient needs them.

Thank you to everyone who welcomed our team into your firehouse. We left with a tremendous amount of respect for your commitment to your crews, your patients, and strengthening airway care.

Trust and data integrity must come before major claims in medical technology.

We are proud to share a first look at our latest preprint research paper, co-authored by our founder and CEO, Andrew Napier, MD, FAAEM, alongside Benjamin Fedeles, M.D. and Serge Klement.

In a recent 30-run audit of our computer-vision software, our team proved a critical milestone: that simulated airway video can be flawlessly turned into structured, fully reviewable procedural telemetry. Before building real-time tools to guide clinicians, we are validating the critical framework required to preserve, structure, and learn from the underlying data.

We are actively looking for partners for our upcoming cadaver studies this fall. If you are a medical director, manage a simulation facility, or run an advanced clinical training program, we want to hear from you. Send us a DM to be connected to our team directly.

40% of prehospital airways fail due to obscured view.

Most devices weren’t built for that moment. IntuBlade was.

Our patented lens-clearing technology uses a Luer-Lock saline port that lets providers attach a standard 10 mL syringe and clear the lens without removing the blade. Twist to lock. Press to flush. Stay in the airway.

No breaking workflow. No starting over. Just regain visualization and keep going.

Because your mission is clear.

Dr. Richard Levitan demonstrating his Universal Stylet Bougie technique with IntuBlade.

Two approaches. One principle: you do not need a perfect view to secure the airway.

The first is a preloaded configuration: tube already on the bougie, minimal visual footprint as it approaches the target, tube delivery following within seconds of bougie placement.

The second is what he calls the bougie handoff: enter the trachea, confirm with tracheal rings, pinch and hold, then transfer to the tube.

Standard Mac geometry. Poor laryngeal view. Controlled delivery.

This is what airway education looks like at the highest level.
