The GlideScope 4-Step Technique Looking directly into the patient’s mouth and with the GlideScope in the left hand, introduce the video laryngoscope into the midline of the oral pharynx. With the laryngoscope inserted, look to the monitor to identify the epiglottis, then manipulate the scope to obtain the best glottic view. Looking directly into the patient’s mouth, not at the screen, carefully guide the distal tip of the tube into position near the tip of the laryngoscope. It is important to look into the mouth at this step to avoid injuring the tonsils or soft palate.  Look to the monitor to complete the intubation; gently rotate or angle the tube to redirect as needed.  GlideScope video laryngoscope systems are CE marked in accordance with the Medical Device Directive, and the Verathon Inc. quality system is Quality System Certified to ISO 13485:2003 standards.
