Obstructed Vision in Soiled Airways

0-11 sec:

The initial insertion of the video laryngoscope resulted in obstruction of the camera view due to fluids in the oral cavity. The device was removed from the mouth, and the lens was manually cleaned to restore the camera to baseline functionality before being reinserted.

12-21 sec:

Once the video laryngoscope was reinserted into the oral cavity, critical time had already been lost, as the simulated patient remained apneic and gastric fluids continued to enter the lungs.

22-30 sec:

A Cormack-Lehane grade 1 view was achieved after aggressive suctioning with a Yankauer suction catheter. This provided clear visualization for the healthcare provider to insert the endotracheal tube using indirect visualization.

Obstructed Vision in Soiled Airways

0-13 sec:

The video laryngoscope is equipped with the IVOS BOSS G4™ system. The device integrates gas flow into the handle to continuously provide a clear camera window throughout the entire intubation process, without requiring removal of the device from the patient’s mouth.

14-27 sec:

The G4’s integrated suction channel removes oral cavity fluids and reduces the potential for aspirate to enter the lungs. Maintaining a clear view of the airway in an emergency setting can increase first-pass success, thereby reducing morbidity and mortality in patients.

28-37 sec:

The patient remains apneic for only a minimal amount of time while the healthcare provider inserts the endotracheal tube into the trachea and secures the airway for lifesaving ventilation.
