The GlideScope

®

4-Step Technique

Looking directly into the patient’s mouth
and with the GlideScope® in the left hand,
introduce the video laryngoscope into the
midline of the oral pharynx.

With the laryngoscope inserted, look to
the monitor to identify the epiglottis, then
manipulate the scope to obtain the best
glottic view.

Looking directly into the patient’s mouth,
not at the screen, carefully guide the
distal tip of the tube into position near the
tip of the laryngoscope.

It is important to look into the mouth at this step to
avoid injuring the tonsils or soft palate.

Look to the monitor to complete the
intubation; gently rotate or angle the tube
to redirect as needed.

GlideScope® video laryngoscope systems are CE marked in accordance with the Medical Device Directive, and the Verathon Inc. quality system

®

Tips for GlideScope
Video Laryngoscope Insertion

• Verathon® recommends inserting the GlideScope® Video
Laryngoscope down the midline of the tongue to the epiglottis.

• The GlideScope® video laryngoscope may be used to produce a
MacIntosh indirect lift of the epiglottis or a Miller lift.

• Intubations using GlideScope® Video Laryngoscopes require
approximately 0.5kg-1.5kg of lifting force.

• Use of an endotracheal tube stylet
is recommended. The GlideRite®
Rigid Stylet has been designed to
complement the angle of the
GlideScope® video laryngoscope to
facilitate intubation. A malleable
stylet may be used with a 60°- 90°
angle.

• To aid the passage of the endotracheal
tube, withdraw the stylet (approx. 5 cm)
while gently advancing the ETT. A 1 cm
adjustment (withdrawal) of the laryngoscope
also may be benecial to reduce the viewing
angle and allow the glottis to drop.

Clinical Application Tips

The GlideScope® 4-Step Technique

Verathon recommends using the GlideScope® 4-Step Technique
as outlined below:

1. In the Mouth: looking directly into the patient’s mouth
and with the GlideScope
introduce the GlideScope
midline of the oral pharynx.

2. At the Screen: With the laryngoscope inserted, look at
the monitor to identify the epiglottis, then manipulate the
scope to obtain the best glottic view.

3. In the Mouth: looking directly into the patient’s mouth,
not at the screen, carefully guide the distal tip of the tube
into position near the tip of the laryngoscope.

4. At the Screen: Look to the monitor to complete the
intubation; gently rotate or angle the tube to redirect as
needed.

• To aid the passage of the endotracheal tube when at the
vocal cords, gradually withdraw the stylet approximately
2 inches (5 cm). A 1cm adjustment (withdrawal) of the
laryngoscope may be beneficial to reduce the viewing
angle and allow the glottis to drop.

Tips for Working with Endotracheal Tubes

• Insert the ET tube behind or immediately adjacent to the
GVL

®

Stat.

• Do not insert the stylet into the larynx during intubation.

• You can bend the proximal tip of the stylet backward to

permit one-handed operation of the ET tube.

• Carefully introduce the distal end of the ET tube between
the vocal folds.

®

• When introducing the GlideScope

and/or the
endotracheal tube, look directly into the mouth to avoid
damaging the endotracheal tube cuff, the patient’s teeth,
or the soft tissues such as the soft palate or tonsils.

• Advance the ET tube while simultaneously withdrawing
the stylet with the thumb (Figure 13). The stylet should
be withdrawn approximately 5 cm (2in).

Avoid excessive lifting or pushing of the glottis by the GVL® Stat.
Maximum laryngeal exposure may not facilitate intubation;
reducing the elevation applied to the laryngoscope may make
inserting the ET tube easier.

Cleaning and Maintenance GlideScope® Ranger System

Note:

* The Ranger Video Baton is a nonsterile, reusable device which
is protected from contact with mucous membranes and non­intact skin by the Stat (sterile, single use) when used as
intended. Low Level Disinfection is recommended for the Ranger
Video Baton after every patient use. High Level Disinfection is
required for the Video Baton when it is visibly soiled.

# Disinfect monitor, DVR and cradle when they are visibly soiled
and on a regular basis as per a schedule established by the
medical care facility or provider.

– Shaded areas - not required/not compatible with device
materials.

– Checked boxes (x) show minimum requirement.

– Unshaded areas show permissible levels of disinfection based
on compatibility with device materials.

Warning:

Disinfectants and cleaning methods listed are recommended by
Verathon

based on compatibility with device materials. Refer to
the label instructions for guidance on disinfection efficacy and
appropriate clinical uses.

Caution: Meticulous cleaning must precede any disinfection

process, to ensure all foreign matter is removed from the surface
of the device. This allows the active ingredients of the chosen

process to reach all the surfaces of the device.

Availability of cleaning products varies by country, and we are
unable to test products in every market. Please use the list of
recommended chemicals in this manual to compare with
products available locally.

Note: When using any of the chemicals listed below, read and

comply with product use instructions in all applications.

Cleaning the GlideScope® Ranger Video Baton

The GlideScope® Ranger Video Baton is a non-sterile reusable
device, which is protected by the Stat and is not intended to have
direct patient contact.

Caution

Do not place the Ranger Video Baton in the cradle if it is
contaminated.

The video baton which is protected from direct contact with the
patient by the Stat, will normally only require cleaning and wiping
down between uses using either IPA or bleach. If there is
concern about its level of contamination or if it is exposed to
contamination then it can be disinfected using a High Level
Disinfection method, as defined in Table 3 on page 31.

Caution: Ensure the protective cap is properly fitted on the
Ranger Video Baton prior to immersion in water. Bleach can be
used on the video baton but with special attention to the
connector, as it can corrode the stainless steel inserts and
damage the connector pins. You can also use a soft brush to
scrub the video baton, taking care not to damage the camera
lens. However, do not use a wire brush because it may damage
the surface of the video baton.

1. Detach the GVL® Stat from the video baton as described on
page 20.
