looks to me like a streamlined, video-capable bullard-like device.

Figs,
thanks! I'll do that. I wonder why it hasn't been introduced here? Pretty much like the Mc Grath Video Laryngoscope huh?

The McGRATH® Video Laryngoscope is designed to simplify intubation of difficult airways and minimize the lifting forces often necessary for successful intubation even on routine airways.

    * Quick and easy to use
    * Durable and lightweight, sits balanced in the clinician’s hand
    * No focusing or image adjustment needed
    * High resolution viewer tilts and turns for better viewing
    * Adjustable blade for different size patients
    * Single use blades eliminate the need for cleaning and sterilization between cases
    * Fully portable unit with no external cables
    * Operates on a single AA battery

Could you really use them in an awake patient like they claim to?

The McGRATH® Series 5 Video Laryngoscope is designed to provide a clear view of the vocal cords during intubation with little or no change in technique. A CameraStick™ with a powerful light source is located within the single use McGRATH® blade. Once a clear image of the vocal cords and surrounding airway anatomy is obtained, a standard ET tube is then guided by the clinician through the vocal cords and into the larynx while viewed in real time on the color video display.

dra, i think the mcgrath is bulkier and more cumbersome to use.

well, that's just me.

I wonder how much these airway devices cost? The membership committee is having a project where members of good standing would be entitled to win 2 raffle tickets and they'll be giving out laryngoscopes, I wish one of them would be something like the above huh? I just had a 104 kg patient m III this morning. Good thing I had a Pro Seal 5, otherwise I don't know how I would've manage.
See you soon.
