| In August 2008 we added the
GlideScope Ranger video laryngoscope to our units. The Ranger is a
compact, lightweight and rugged airway management tool designed for first
pass success in difficult airway situations. The Ranger is small, less
than eight inches square, and weighs less than two pounds. The unit is both
impact and weather resistant and has a rechargeable battery. The video
bayonet includes the camera with a patented anti-fogging mechanism and a
rigid cover that is disposable making cleanup easier.
We anticipate using the Ranger with great success as a part of our RSI
procedure and in airway management situations made difficult by trauma or
other complications.
The rugged construction, small size and one button operation will make
the Ranger a useful and dependable tool in the field where airway management
can often be a challenge.
