There are two types of fiberoptic scopes:
- Reusable short scope (used to visualize up to the cord)
*Must be sterilized after use - Disposable long scope (used to visualize past the cords, intubate)
*Located on the side of the scope cart outside Resus 6. Additional scopes can be found near the Resus hydration station on the wall.
*No longer requires an adaptor
*Only use with Storz CMAC monitors. We do not have Glidescope scopes.
- Key is located with Charge RN
- Cart is located in the hall outside Resus 6 (where scopes used to be)
- You must sign out the scope with each use (binder in top drawer)
- All things needed for the scope are now in the cart
- Close the loop with Charge RN or MEA re: taking reusable short non-intubating scope to sterilization after use
