ABSTRACT:
A nasal intubation apparatus comprises a curved rigid body having a distal end and a proximal end joined by a curved section which approximates the curvature of the transition of the normal human nasopharynx to the oropharynx. The body has provided in it fiberoptic viewing and illumination channels. A working channel is provided to permit use of a flexible guide member to act as a guide for positioning of an endotracheal tube fitted over the intubation apparatus body. A controllable tip section at the distal end of the body is provided.
