Video Laryngoscopy

Hyperangulated videolaryngoscopy is an emerging skill of critical care clinicians which makes use of advanced laryngoscopes to achieve excellent visualisation of the glottis. Various devices exist to facilitate this process and this course will focus on the Storz and Glidescope hyperangulated blade videolaryngoscopes. The option to default to direct visualisation of the glottis is not usually available due to the angle of the blade and there are key difference in how the scope is manoeuvred to allow both glottic visualisation and tube delivery.
