An embodiment encompassing reusable video laryngoscopes that are insertable into transparent or non-transparent disposable sheaths having clear optically clear viewing windows that receive contact with camera lens. The reusable video laryngoscopes are configured to be detachably secured by locking tabs located in the transparent or non-transparent disposable sheaths with complementary shaped posts and ledges of the video laryngoscopes. The video laryngoscopes that are secured into the transparent or non-transparent disposable sheaths may be inserted into the patient's mouth to provide clear camera viewing through the optically clear window ports of the transparent or non-transparent disposable sheaths to allow endotracheal procedures to be undertaken. The transparent or non-transparent disposable sheaths are sterilizable and may be used just once for a given patient. The video laryngoscopes in the form of a baton are detachably removeable from the disposable sheath exposed to a patient.

A video laryngoscope has a handle and a groove on one side of the handle. The groove is used for guiding a guide wire when the larynogoscope is placed in a patient's mouth. A video camera located near the end of the handle is used to view the area around the glottis. When the guide wire is properly positioned near the glottis, the upper part of the guide wire is disengaged from the groove so as to allow an endotracheal tube to be slipped over the guide wire and to be inserted into part of the trachea through the glottis. When the tube is properly inserted for intubation, the guide wire is removed from the tube. An illuminating light source such as an LED lamp can be installed at the end of the handle to provide illumination for the video camera.

Video laryngoscope system including a video laryngoscope having a laryngoscope handle and a laryngoscope blade. The video laryngoscope system includes an image capture module with at least two stationary imaging units spaced apart along the laryngoscope blade for providing real-time video streams of a patient's airway passage during an intubation and a controller for enabling a clinician performing the intubation to select one or more of the real-time video streams for real-time display on a display screen to assist intubation of a patient.

A video intubation system that provides for multiple image streams to be simultaneously presented to a user, the first image stream generated by a video laryngoscope and the second image stream generated by a video stylet. The video stylet is provided with a deflection section for ease of introducing an ETT into the trachea of a patient, the video stylet having a pistol-type grip and a control interface in the form of a trigger-type lever to facilitate comfortable griping and manipulation by the user.

Disclosed is a video laryngoscope having a body, an insertion section extending from the body generally parallel to a median plane of the laryngoscope extending through the body, and a display screen assembly extending from the body generally perpendicular to the median plane, the body comprising a grip portion intermediate the display screen assembly and the insertion section. The display screen assembly, comprising a display screen, extends laterally from the body and the inner edge of the display screen falls within the lateral extent of the body. The grip portion is also of a minimum size to allow an adult to grip the laryngoscope, the hand abutting the screen assembly. Thus, the laryngoscope is of a minimum overall size, the screen is positioned as close as possible to the line of sight of a user directly viewing the distal end of the insertion section, during a medical procedure, facilitating the user alternating between direct and indirect viewing, whereas the screen does not prevent the user from manipulating the laryngoscope by applying thumb pressure to the body. The laryngoscope may optionally be provided with thumb operable controls on the body or the screen. The screen may be adjustable about an axis, and, by virtue of the configuration and size of the laryngoscope, adjustment may be effected by the user's thumb, without the need to adjust the grip of the remaining digits.

A combined flexible and rigid intubating video laryngoscope. The laryngoscope has a handle, and a rigid blade, having a proximal end connectible to the handle and a distal end projecting therefrom. The laryngoscope also has a flexible video endoscope having a distal end connectible near the distal end of the blade, the distal end of the endoscope being movable relative to the distal end of the blade, so as to enable the endoscope to obtain a variable view including a more anterior anatomical view of a patient's vocal cords during direct laryngoscopy.

A video laryngoscope has an arm comprising a video camera, at least one electrical conductor extending to the video camera, an elongate electrical conductor retaining member retaining the electrical conductor and an overmoulding extending around the elongate cable retaining member and having a smooth outer surface. Providing a laryngoscope arm overmoulded to provide a smooth outer surface has the benefit of allowing the laryngoscope arm to be readily cleaned or sterilised, and minimises the number of features, such as seams or joints, where dirt or infectious bodies may be retained.

A controllable intubating stylet (CIS) for use by anesthesia and other health care providers is used in conjunction with a video laryngoscope and endotracheal tube in order to achieve intubation of the trachea for general anesthesia as well as other medical conditions. The video laryngoscope is used to visualize the tracheal opening. The CIS is inserted into an endotracheal tube and directed into the trachea. The endotracheal tube then is maneuvered over the stylet and into the trachea, and thereafter, the CIS is removed. The patient can then be oxygenated and ventilated by way of the endotracheal tube. The CIS includes a control mechanism similar to current bronchoscopes which allows for flexion of the tip and overall flexibility of the stylet. In contrast to the bronchoscope, however, the CIS includes no fiberoptics or associated components, such as a light source or eyepiece, making the CIS much less expensive to produce.

Intubation is the placing of a plastic tube into the windpipe/trachea. The tube is placed into the trachea to facilitate giving oxygen to the patient. The plastic tube is called an endotracheal tube. Seeing the target, the windpipe opening, is critical to successful intubation. Likewise, seeing the tip-region of the tube to be inserted into the tracheal opening is important to intubation success. This patent will describe the marking of the distal/far-end region of an endotracheal tube so that the tip-cuff distal region will be more clearly seen against the brightly-lighted, light pink-orange tissues of the deep throat area to provide 1) clearer vision of the distal region of the endotracheal tube, 2) clearer vision of the endotracheal tube approaching and then entering into the windpipe opening, and 3) the ability to estimate the distance that the endotracheal tube has advanced into the trachea. This improved visualization of the distal region of the endotracheal tube will be particularly helpful with the new to market video laryngoscopes and other new, video-enhanced intubation instrument systems. The endotracheal tube will be held and manipulated and connected to oxygen exactly as it is at present.
