ABSTRACT:
The configuration and arrangement of the instrument greatly facilitate safe placement of the instrument and an associated endotracheal tube. The instrument provides a path for guiding movement of the endotracheal tube in a manner that permits the distal end of the tube to move along the instrument directly toward the glottis. The instrument includes a passage into which a telescope is mounted. The arrangement of the guide path and passageway ensure that the advancing end of the tube remains observable as it is advanced to the glottis. Suction is provided to remove fluid etc that would otherwise obscure the view of the tube.
