Statement of Need

VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (646)

Title of Project: Verathon Glideslope s and Accessories.

Background:

VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) clinical areas have moved to the newest GlideScope on the market. The Simulation Center s current GlideScope s were purchased in 2013 and since that time the system has been updated to provide larger viewing screens and ease of access, also the new GlideScope s are more lightweight and portable than our current model. To prepare staff and healthcare trainees, it is essential that the Simulation Center s training is done utilizing the same equipment that is present in clinical areas. The GlideScope will be used to train new and current employees on how to intubate and respond to a difficult airway situation.
