What is the Curaplex® OneScope® Pro Video Laryngoscope and who is it designed for?
The Curaplex® OneScope® Pro Video Laryngoscope (SKU: 2146-26785P) is a professional-grade video laryngoscope system from Curaplex (Boundtree Medical) that places a camera on the laryngoscope blade to display a real-time video feed on an attached screen — enabling video-assisted indirect laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation. It weighs 2 lbs and is designed for advanced airway-trained providers in EMS, hospital emergency medicine, and critical care transport. It requires advanced airway training, hands-on simulation, and medical director authorization before use.
How does video laryngoscopy improve intubation success compared to direct laryngoscopy?
Video laryngoscopy uses a blade-mounted camera to display a magnified, wide-field view of the laryngeal inlet on an integrated screen, eliminating the need for a direct line of sight to the vocal cords that direct laryngoscopy demands. Evidence in emergency and prehospital medicine shows video laryngoscopy improves first-pass intubation success rates in difficult airways — particularly in patients with anterior anatomy, limited neck mobility, obesity, or blood and secretions in the airway. For pre-hospital providers who perform endotracheal intubation under medical director authorization, video laryngoscopy can meaningfully reduce esophageal intubation rates and improve patient outcomes.
Is the OneScope Pro CoTCCC-recommended, and when is endotracheal intubation appropriate in TCCC?
Video laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation are not CoTCCC-recommended as routine prehospital interventions — CoTCCC does not recommend RSI prehospital, making ETI appropriate primarily for TACEVAC-level care or highly trained special operations medical providers whose patient is deeply comatose and does not require pharmacologic facilitation. In civilian EMS, video laryngoscopy is increasingly standard for paramedic-level advanced airway providers with appropriate medical director authorization. The OneScope Pro supports both direct and video-assisted approaches for authorized providers.
