Using the CoPilot VL

Tips for Intubating with the CoPilot VL

1. After ensuring proper operational status and sufficient
battery charge, open a new CoPilot VL
sheath and place it over the video blade until it snaps
securely in place.
2. Keep your eyes on the PATIENT when inserting the
sheathed video blade into the mouth. Observe the
sheath passing into the oropharynx. Then locate the
vocal cords on the display.
3. Only insert the video blade and sheath deep enough to
bring the epiglottis into view. Advance the tip of the sheath
into the vallecula. Then gently tilt the tip of the sheath
upwards until the vocal cords can be seen. Inserting the
video blade too deeply will make it MORE difficult to pass
the endotracheal tube into the glottis despite a good view.
This is the most important tip for ensuring success with
video laryngoscopy. Often, a grade 2a or 2b can be easier
to intubate than a grade 1.
