Fiberoptic Scope

There are two types of fiberoptic scopes: 

  1. Reusable short scope (used to visualize up to the cord)
        *Must be sterilized after use
  2. 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. 

  1. Key is located with Charge RN 
  2. Cart is located in the hall outside Resus 6 (where scopes used to be)
  3. You must sign out the scope with each use (binder in top drawer)
  4. All things needed for the scope are now in the cart
  5. Close the loop with Charge RN or MEA re: taking reusable short non-intubating scope to sterilization after use
