The use of GlideScope for biopsies of the tongue base
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 December 2012
Abstract
To report a case where GlideScope® is used for the biopsy of the tongue base.
GlideScopes are used by anaesthetists for difficult intubations.
This paper reports a case where a GlideScope was used for biopsy of the tongue base. A review of the literature indicated that this was the first time a GlideScope had been utilised for this purpose.
It is suggested that this is a safe and ideal technique for biopsy of the tongue base, and GlideScopes could be used more frequently for this purpose in the future.
