A recommendation by the difficult airway society for an alternative scope to be used for awake fibreoptic intubations at Royal Marsden Hospital, has resulted in the swap of the current used scopes to the C-Mac Five s Scopes provide only by Storz. The unique proposed alternative scope has a 3.5mm in diameter, with 180/180-degree deflection has the unique ability to utilise a size 4 ET tube, which means a different cohort of patients which isn’t currently possible due to its narrower diameter (smaller patients), In addition 65cm scope length gives the ability for the clinician to look further into the lungs. This length is also unique to Storz scopes compare to a standard 60cm scopes. The number of scopes use by the Trust per year allow the Trust to have 7 CMAC screens unique to Storz free of charge which will allow to perform video laryngoscope and awake fibreoptic intubations in the same screen, which will improve the quality visualisation of Head and Neck, and non-head and neck.
