For an out of OR/Hospital situation, if you can't intubate and your SGA isn't working well, you should then proceed rapidly to another airway option. The reason being is that returning to baseline is going to return to the very condition that caused you to attempt intubation in the first place, and possibly in a worse position than what was started with.Where are options 3, 4...
Surgical, trans-tracheal jet, bougie, et cetera?
If a SGA hasn't failed and bagging isn't adequate then returning to baseline isn't going to likely be that beneficial.
