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
is Quality System Certied to ISO 13485:2003 standards. © 2009 Verathon Inc.
