A laryngoscope has a blade mounted on a bracket and handle for manipulation by the doctor. The blade is generally concave with an inner surface for engaging and compressing the tongue of the patient onto the lower jaw of the patient, a tip portion remote from the bracket for engaging the hyoid bone of the patient to effect moving of the epiglottis and an outer surface over which the doctor obtains a direct line of sight through the mouth past the moved epiglottis to the opening through the larynx to the trachea. The blade is substantially rigid with an apex at a position thereon which in use is located adjacent the tongue of the patient. A portion of the blade from the apex to the tip portion is substantially straight and has a length which is adjustable by a manually operable slide.
