<p>An intubation instrument, such as laryngoscope, comprises a body (20), an elongated arm (22) and a handle (24). The configuration of the instrument greatly facilitates safe placement of the instrument and an associated endotracheal tube (40). The arm (22) provides a path (46) for guiding movement of the endotracheal tube (40) in a manner that permits the distal end (38) of the tube (40) to move along the arm (22) directly toward the glottis (36). The elongated arm (22) includes a passage (83) into which a telescope (80) is mounted. The arrangement of the guide path (46) and passageway (56) ensures that the advancing end (38) of the tube (40) remains observable as it is advanced to the glottis. Suction is provided (102, 106) to remove fluid etc., that would otherwise obscure the view of the tube.</p> |
