A laryngoscope equipped with a fiberoptic scope for enabling simultaneous remote observation of the airway and associated structures during insertion of the laryngoscope blade. The laryngoscope includes a blade member configured for attachment to a handle, a conduit positioned adjacent the blade member for housing a fiberoptic scope. The fiberoptic scope includes fibers for illuminating an area adjacent a distal end of the blade and viewing fibers for transmitting a visual image of the illuminated area to a remote viewing system. A clear cap is provided for the end of the conduit to protect the fiberoptic scope from patient secretions.
