Greene County General Hospital has acquired a video laryngoscope. The GlideScope® Ranger is a portable, compact and durable video laryngoscope that provides a clear, real-time view of a patient’s airway for fast intubations in unpredictable airway conditions. Pictured above (Left to Right), Brent Sparks, CRNA instructs Stan Harbaugh, RT on the use of the laryngoscope.

The GlideScope® Ranger provides a clear picture of the larynx and vocal cords on a display monitor, enabling visual control of the endotracheal tube in its trajectory toward the airway. The scope does not require “line of sight” for view and takes less force than traditional methods, helping eliminate trauma to patients.
