Video laryngoscopes

The — video laryngoscope is a device used in anesthetic practice to improve glottis vision and facilitate intubation. Videolaryngoscopy — is a form of indirect laryngoscopy in which the doctor does not examine the larynx directly. Instead, laryngeal imaging is performed with a fibro-optical or digital laryngoscope inserted transnasally or transorally.

3 important advantages of a video laryngoscope

The use of a video laryngoscope has a number of advantages over a traditional hand-held laryngoscope.

Improved visualization

Video laryngoscopes provide improved visualization of airway structures during intubation. Turning on the camera and screen allows healthcare professionals to view the enlarged image of the larynx and vocal cords in real time, allowing for a better view of anatomical landmarks and potential obstacles. This improved imaging can lead to improved success rates the first time around, reducing the need for multiple attempts and minimizing patient discomfort.

Complex cases

Video laryngoscopes can be particularly useful in complex airway management scenarios. They provide a better view of the glottis, which facilitates navigation in anatomical variations, limited mouth opening, or situations with poor imaging due to blood, discharge, or swelling. This can help in quickly identifying and resolving airway problems, reducing the risk of complications and increasing patient safety.

Special patient groups

Video laryngoscopes may be particularly useful for certain groups of patients, such as those with limited neck mobility or suspected cervical spine injuries. The ability to maintain better airway axis alignment during intubation attempts can minimize potential cervical spine movement and reduce associated risks.

Intubation rate

In a medical emergency, every second matters. The medical staff struggles with the ever-changing environment with each patient and each intubation they perform. In many cases, the fastest intubation is not always the safest, so it is important to be both fast and do everything right.

The camera laryngoscope improves intubation speed compared to a traditional laryngoscope. Improved imaging allows better identification of the larynx and vocal cords, facilitating faster and more accurate placement of the endotracheal tube.

With a conventional laryngoscope, the direct line of sight of airway structures may be limited, especially in patients with complex airways. Sometimes this can lead to difficulties in visualizing the vocal cords and require repeated attempts to successfully intubate. In contrast, the new model's laryngoscope provides a clear, enlarged image of the airways on the screen, allowing the operator to navigate the anatomy more easily and guide the endotracheal tube to the correct position.

Accuracy

Whether done quickly or slowly, running the tube through the trachea without damaging the larynx and vocal cords is not always easy. Patients rarely remain motionless during procedures, let alone invasive, let alone panic. Working with video provides an enlarged image that illustrates small blockages and increases the accuracy of manipulations.

Registration

A laryngoscope with a camera allows you to record the intubation procedure. This feature allows healthcare professionals to record the entire process, including visualization of airway structures, intubation attempts, and any complications that occur. These video recordings serve as valuable documentation of the procedure and can be used for subsequent viewing, analysis, educational or evidentiary purposes.
