More to add regarding bougie for this too

Optimizing position

Right paraglossal straight blade

VL but minimize hyperangulated approach and hyperangulated styletting/bougie

Scope via SGA

Bougie via rigid suction (HT @jducanto see below) or VL/IL channel or CMAC left side channel

Surgical is your last resort (actually ECMO is?)
