Reply to "Can't get my catheter through the valve..."

I've had a small problem on occasion not able to intubate. Probably nothing like what you're having. It usually occurs when I don't empty the pouch right away. I put extra lubrication on and then I take a deep breath and slowly exhale. I may do this several times. I try my very best to relax. I think stressing doesn't help and tenses the muscles. Fortunately this seems to work for me. The best. Mary
