Learn more about the GlideScope and how it is used
From St. James,
We are incredibly grateful to the Bethesda Foundation for their generous gift supporting the purchase of a GlideScope for the Emergency Department at St. James Hospital. This important piece of equipment enhances patient safety and supports our care teams in delivering high-quality, lifesaving care.
The equipment has arrived, and this morning Rob Price from the Bethesda Foundation visited St. James Hospital for a photo opportunity to mark this meaningful contribution.
Thank you to the Bethesda Foundation for your continued support of our patients, staff, and community.

What is a GlideScope and how is it used ?
From Respiratory Therapy Zone: The GlideScope is a video laryngoscopy device that provides a clear, magnified view of the glottis and vocal cords, making it easier for medical professionals to perform intubations even in challenging cases.
This technology is particularly valuable for use in pulmonary and critical care medicine, as it can significantly increase the first-attempt success rate in urgent situations compared to traditional direct laryngoscopy methods.
