Overview

Hyperangulated blade and rigid stylet typical of the Glidescope video laryngoscope
The C-MAC video laryngoscope (pictured above) has a Macintosh or "standard geometry" blade similar to that of a Macintosh direct laryngoscope (pictured below)
  • Two most common devices are the C-MAC and the Glidescope
    • Both CMAC and Glidescope systems offer both hyperangulated and standard geometry blades
  • Increasingly utilized in emergency airway management[1]

Indications

Contraindications

  • No absolute contraindications
  • Relative:
    • Blood or emesis in airway
    • Foreign body removal

Equipment Needed

  • Video laryngoscope
  • Rigid stylet if hyperangulated blade is used
  • All other equipment necessary for endotracheal intubation

Procedure

  • Hyperangulated video laryngoscope
    • Patient ideally in neutral spine position (as opposed to "sniffing" position for direct laryngoscopy)
    • After induction, use right hand to "scissor" mouth open
    • Place hyperangulated blade midline and slowly advance with progressive identification of airway landmarks
    • Advance blade into vallecula
    • When cords fill entire screen (Cormack-Lehane Grade I), slightly retract laryngoscopy so that cords only occupy upper 1/3 of screen (CL Grade II, allows for passage of ETT with rigid stylet)[2]
      • If intubation is attempted with the best view possible, operators often have difficulty advancing the tube around the tongue and hypopharyngeal soft tissues
  • Standard geometry video laryngoscope
    • Same technique utilized with direct laryngoscopy
    • Can either visualize directly or utilize video screen for tube delivery

Complications

  • Risk of equipment failure with hyperangulated laryngoscope (unable to obtain direct view if screen fails)
  • Risk of camera contamination with blood or emesis in airway
  • Foreign body removal with hyperangulated laryngoscope less successful than with Macintosh laryngoscope [3]
