User’s Manual 33
• Insert the ET tube behind or immediately adjacent to the GVL
®
Stat.
• Do not insert the stylet into the larynx during intubation.
• You can bend the proximal tip of the stylet backward to permit
one-handed operation of the ET tube.
• Carefully introduce the distal end of the ET tube between the vocal folds.
• When introducing the GlideScope and/or the endotracheal tube, look
directly into the mouth to avoid damaging the endotracheal tube cuff,
the patient’s teeth, or soft tissues such as the soft palate or tonsils.
• Advance the ET tube while simultaneously
withdrawing the stylet with the thumb
(Figure 30). The stylet should be withdrawn
approximately 5 cm (2 in).
• Avoid excessive lifting or pushing of the
glottis by the Cobalt AVL Stat. Maximum
laryngeal exposure may not facilitate
intubation; reducing the elevation applied
to the laryngoscope may make inserting
the ET tube easier.

Downloading Video to a USB Drive
You can store approximately 1 hour of video (approximately 40 typical
intubations) in internal memory. When the monitor’s internal memory
reaches capacity, the oldest video file is overwritten to make room for
the newest video file.
You cannot download video files directly to another computer. You must
download video files to a USB drive that you connect to the back panel of
the monitor. If you try to download a video file and no USB drive (provided
by Verathon
®
) is attached, a reminder flashes on the monitor screen.
Note: There is a possibility that some brands of USB drives may not be com-
patible with the Cobalt AVL Monitor.
