How to place a duo-tube
If your patient is a trauma or blue (EEA history) patient, you must start by ruling out facial fractures on imaging. Trauma patients must have at least a negative CTH (look at bone window yourself), ideally a negative CT Max Face (though this is not always standard ordered and doesn't need to be if there are no facial fx on a regular CTH)
All EEA patients are disqualified from having a DT placed by anyone except ENT under drect visualization (jump to step 4)
