I still wouldn't expect a glidescope to get me a useful view below the vocal cords.
A pure respiratory acidosis, in the absence of other nastiness, is very well tolerated, even down to the 7 range. That pH won't kill him, though the hypercarbia may well make him less cooperative and introduce some somnolence and upper airway obstruction, which won't help.
Feels like there's still something missing from the picture. His trachea was stenosed yesterday, right? What's different now? Does he have a respiratory infection or acute issue of another nature? Surely if this is known stenosis, he has imaging from sometime. Why's he in the hospital in the first place?
Agree with fakin the funk's plan.
