• 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 0.5–1.5 kg of lifting force.
• Use of an endotracheal tube stylet
is recommended. The GlideRite
®
Rigid Stylet is 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.
