Study objective: To calculate the costs per intubation of reusable fiberoptic scopes versus single-use intubation scopes.

Design: Open-label retrospective study.

Setting: University-affiliated hospital.

Measurements: The one-year intubation records of intubations performed with reusable intubation scopes, the one-year maintenance costs of these scopes, and their three-year repair cost records were analyzed. A total of 166 intubations were performed with reusable fiberoptic scopes in 2009. Calculations to assess the costs per intubation based on the documented records at our institution were made. The total cost of an intubation, the repair-to-intubation ratio, and the repair cost per intubation were determined.

Main results: The total cost of an intubation at our institution in 2009, using reusable scopes, was $119.75 [US dollars (USD)], which inclu...
