PCT No. PCT/IT92/00161 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 6, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 6, 1994 PCT Filed Dec. 12, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/11700 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 24, 1993A pivoting laryngoscope has a power-driven spatula for performing intubation in patients. The laryngoscope includes a handle for gripping the laryngoscope, and a curved spatula blade having one end connected to the handle. The spatula blade is subdivided into a plurality of adjacent, sequentially arranged sections. At least two of the sections are pivotally connected together at a fulcrum. A motorization assembly is located within the handle and is activatable for generating movement. A motion transmission assembly operatively connects the motorization assembly to at least one of the sections for transmitting the movement of the motorization assembly to the section, whereby the section is moved relative to the fulcrum and within a predetermined arc, thereby changing a curvature of the curved spatula blade.
