ABSTRACT:
A medical glove for use in endotracheal intubations having one or more finger extension members attached to and extending outwardly from fingertip portions of one or more finger covers thereof. The finger extension members are useful in manipulating soft throat and mouth parts to assist in placement of an endotracheal tube into a patient's trachea, to thereby provide a functional airway where normal breathing is stopped or impaired. A method of performing an endotracheal intubation involves using the finger extension members of the medical glove to reach into a patient's throat to move the patient's tongue forwardly in the patient's mouth and to secure the larynx, followed by inserting an endotracheal tube into the patient's trachea.
