The GlideScope® is a videolaryngoscope manufactured by Verathon Medical (Bothell, WA, USA), now widely used to manage planned or unexpected difficult orotracheal intubation situations. According to the current literature, GlideScope® has been used for surgical procedures involving the tongue base, such as biopsies and radiofrequency treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. We describe a case of dual use of GlideScope for pointed foreign body removal in an emergency department.
