3. Preparation for use

 

   The aScope 2 is inserted through the endotracheal tube and aligned with the tube so the  

tip of the aScope 2 is placed at tip of the tube.

   The cuff is deflated and the tube and scope is retracted until it is just above the place  

of the incision.

   The aScope 2 is now ready to be used for monitoring during needle insertion, dilatation,  

and tube placement.

   Always have an additional aScope 2 or reusable scope at hand as a precaution.
