A GLIDESCOPE SPECTRUM SINGLE-USE QC MILLER S1 LARYNGOSCOPE WAS CONNECTED BUT WOULD NOT SHOW THE IMAGE. BOTH AVAILABLE CABLES WERE ATTEMPTED BUT STILL NO VIEW OR LIGHT DISPLAYED FROM THE LARYNGOSCOPE. THEY DECIDED TO REVERT BACK TO USING THE HYPERANGLE S2 LARYNGOSCOPE WHICH WAS INSERTED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ETT, WITH REMOVAL OF THE FRONT OF THE C-COLLAR AND MANUAL IN-LINE STABILIZATION OF THE HEAD AND NECK. THE ETT WAS SAFELY PASSED THROUGH THE GLOTTIS. NO HARM TO THE PATIENT WAS REPORTED.
