Glidescope

The Glidescope is a medical device used by healthcare professionals to help insert a breathing tube into a patient’s airway. It features a small camera and light on a flexible, curved blade, allowing the doctor to see the airway clearly on a monitor. This visualization makes placing the tube more accurate and safer, especially in difficult cases. The Glidescope improves control during intubation, reduces trauma, and increases success rates. It is commonly used in emergency rooms, operating rooms, and intensive care units to ensure patients can breathe properly when they cannot do so on their own.
