What a game changer this would be for us Paramedics in the field. I've been at this now for 25 years and consider myself to be a pretty good intubator but there have been several times where the patient has been on the floor of their home and I've had to get on my belly to try and get the proper angle to visualize the cords. This would make intubation a breeze plus it could also be used in facial trauma where you have blood and possible trachea deviation. This technology has to make it's way into the field it could literally save time which would make for better outcomes in patients and therefore save lives!!
I was about to make the same comment about difficult positions. Ideally, for medics , the display would be smaller and wrist mounted rather than on the handle or a stand/ bag. I've had way too many patients sitting, entrapped ,or in confined spaces to not want the capability of a sickle grip- certainly possible with a handle mounted display, but much more flexible wrist mounted.
EMT here, some agencies are using laryngoscopes that have this camera feature built in and used in a portable fashion. The last place I was employed at, they used a "King Vision" device and it really was a cool and helpful system for many. But sometimes, and also depends on the Medic, the old school direct laryngoscope method worked out well. But yeah, having the camera feature in general is really something extra helpful.
@@paymenomind1604 I guess we just havent been given the opportunity to get ours yet. I work in a large metropolitan city. I'm glad it's made it's way into the field. Its a great piece of technology.
How crazy that as Austrian RN I must learn about this stuff (Karl Storz is an Austrian company) from an US - source. But very pleased to see it does save lives over the big pond!
My agency is currently letting people evaluate and the #1 complaint is that it's too heavy. Second is that there are too many parts to lose. I love this thing.
With an intubation that requires you to suction before going back in again, what's the maximum amount of time they can be off ventilation before it gets dangerous? Or are you just bagging through whatever was aspirated?
Hold ur breath as long as u can. That's how long. Yes, bag, bag, bag thru it post hyper-oxygen and NT suction. GOTTA HAVE A PATENT (open) AIRWAY. No oxygen = no life.

@@jamesbridges7750 Geeat point.
Lots of agencies use VL now and it's becoming more popular. The CMAC is used by a air rescue service in CO.

RRT 20+ yrs here. Very nicely done -gane changer here.
Thank u for sharing.
Most welcome 😊

Fascinating.

Wow the mucus! Neat video
It was something aspirated at breakfast in addition to mucus.
Никогда не думал, что можно проводить аускультацию легких, не снимая рубаху. Попробую обязательно.
It also depends on the quality of the stethoscope. Personally, I use one of the Thinklabs electronic stethoscopes and it really makes a difference.
What is the difference between C-MAC vs Glidescope? When would you choose to use one or the other?

About as long as you can hold your breath is a good rule to go by.
