Event Description
An hour after return form cardiac surgery there was a loss of airway and attempts at various interventions, one of which involved the use of a disposable fiber-optic laryngoscope handle and blade assembly.Generally, the blade felt fully engaged but it was not.Light was projecting posteriorly with a dimmer projected light at the tip.This gave the end-user a false sense that the scope is ready to use which may contribute to a negative patient event.
