A pivoting laryngoscope (1) having a power-driven curved spatula, used for performing intubation of patients under anesthesia or in resuscitation, comprising a handle part (2) and a spatula part (3), equipped with power means, power-feeding means and transmission means present in the handle part, which allow the spatula-part (3) to be movable in a radial direction with respect to a fulcrum (33) within a predetermined arc, in order to vary its curvature. The laryngoscope (1) is equipped with a guide (42) through which the operator inserts a cannula (40) for intubation in the patient's mouth, directing it to the desired point through the larynx and trachea, to the lungs, employing means for lighting the path of the cannula. |
