Abstract:
A camera tube used in connection with a laryngeal mask cooperates with an intubation stylet. The camera tube is an elongate member having a length extending between opposite distal and proximal ends of the elongate member. The distal end of the camera tube has a camera. The camera tube has an exterior surface and an intubation stylet guide support surface extending radially outward from the exterior surface along a portion of the length adjacent to the distal end. The intubation stylet guide support surface is configured to cooperate with an intubation stylet guide support surface. The user may manipulate the proximal end of the camera tube to change the orientation of the intubation stylet with in the laryngeal mask while using the camera to visualize the patient's laryngeal opening. Once the intubation stylet is aligned with the patient's laryngeal opening, the intubation stylet may be advanced therethrough.
