1. Rapid Review
A World Where Up Is Down & Down Is Up
Success begins with good technique. There are 4 basic movements for controlling the distal tip of the fiberoptic device which you will use to guide to the device and tube into the trachea: Up/Down & Left/Right.
The UP/DOWN movement of the distal tip comes from your thumb on the lever. Combined with rotation of the handle with your wrist you can also move the distal tip of the scope LEFT/RIGHT. It is important to not that ALL movement should come from movements of the lever/wrist and NEVER from twisting or torquing the distal end of the scope.
To get you warmed up, watch this rapid review designed to give you the highlights, and prime you for what comes next. ⏩
