Abstract:
An intubation device for use in an endotracheal intubation procedure, the intubation device including: a laryngoscope blade having a tip and a base; a handle attached to the base of the blade for allowing the intubation device to be held in a hand of a user; a channel for receiving an endotracheal tube, the channel including a blade channel portion extending along the blade substantially from the tip to the base and including an outlet proximate to the tip for allowing a distal end of the endotracheal tube to be advanced from the outlet and a handle channel portion extending partially along the handle from the blade channel portion; and a tube movement mechanism in the handle for moving the endotracheal tube through the channel to thereby advance the endotracheal tube, the tube movement mechanism including a thumb interface for allowing the user to operate the tube movement mechanism using a thumb of the hand that is holding the intubation device, to thereby allow the user to hold the intubation device and advance the endotracheal tube in an endotracheal intubation procedure using a single hand.
