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.
• 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 benecial to reduce the viewing
angle and allow the glottis to drop.

If the GVL
, Video Baton or Stat are stored in cold conditions,
additional warming time may be required for optimal
performance of the anti-fog feature.
Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Maintenance
To ensure patient safety, users should perform a routine
inspection of the Ranger GVL
Stat before every use to ensure that all endoscopic components
are free of unintended rough surfaces, sharp edges, protrusions
or cracks.
If inspection reveals any faults in the components, contact
Verathon Medical Customer Care or your local GlideScope
representative. All repairs must be performed by an authorized
Verathon Medical Service Center.
