Airway on Demand: Video Laryngoscope–Guided Flexible Scope Intubation

In this episode, William Rosenblatt, MD, shows how a video laryngoscope was used to assist with use of a flexible scope for intubation in a patient.

On occasion the combination of airway devices can be invaluable. In this case, the larynx was difficult to visualize with a GlideScope (Verathon) or Flexible Intubation Scope (Ambu) alone. The intubation was achieved by combining the two techniques. The image from the video laryngoscope is used to guide the flexible scope into a better position
