<p>An intubating assembly (10) used to position an intubation tube (80) having a distal end (82), a proximal end (84), and a generally resilient tubular configuration into a trachea (97) of a patient (90). The intubating assembly (10) has a guide assembly (20) that receives the intubation tube (80) to its configuration. The guide assembly (20) includes first and a second introduction segments (22, 26) hingedly coupled to one another, positionable between a closed orientation, which defines a generally curved configuration of the guide assembly, and an open orientation, which defines a generally straight configuration of the guide assembly. The intubating assembly further includes a positioning assembly structured to selectively position the first and second introduction segments (22, 26) between the open orientation. The intubation tube is generally straightened to facilitate direct introduction thereof into an airway (93) of the patient (90) to a point posterior ofa tip of an epiglottis (95) of the patient (90).</p> |
