ROYAL BRISBANE & WOMEN’S HOSPITAL

SPECIAL CARE NURSERY, QLD

VIDEO LARYNGOSCOPE WITH C-MAC BLADES 0 & 1: $27,460

This handheld device is a video guided scope which facilitates successful intubation for neonatal resuscitation, or when a baby needs to be ventilated and requires an endotracheal tube. This highly accurate technology also greatly decreases the incidence of intubation-induced infection, secondary to multiple failed intubation attempts. Video guidance during the procedure improves the success rate of initial attempts to intubate and is much more comfortable and less distressing to the baby. This bundle includes two blades.
