ABSTRACT:
The device described herein consists of a means inserted in the patient's mouth and adjustable to a fixed position for holding the mouth open while an automatic intubation guide is inserted for guiding an endotracheal tube into the patient's trachea. The airway opening device has an opening therein through which the said guide is fed into the mouth and past the pharynx to the esophagus. An endotracheal tube is also fed through the airway opening device and by means of an adaptor or track on the guide the endotracheal tube is inserted into the trachea, after which the guide is withdrawn and the airway opening device is retracted from its fixed position and removed from the mouth.
