Seeing is believing but to much of a good thing can be bad as demonstrated in this view with the Glidescope where the image occupies most of the screen and the blade is over-rotated to look up at the anterior tracheal wall. Here you see the cricoid ring. This can be managed with tube manipulation however it is best to back off, lessening the blades rotation for a 50:50 view where the glottis occupies 50% of the screen and the POGO is less than 50%. The trachea will appear as a black hole as the camera and blade are in-line with the long axis of the trachea.
