A blind intubation guide (10) including a tube-receiving space (46) with a tube-supporting spout (50) which effectively overhangs the epiglottis (90) so as to prevent an orotracheal tube (60) from catching thereon as such tube (60) is advanced through the guide (10). A guide wall (42), which aims the tube (60) into the laryngeal opening (82) and has an upper edge below the level of the junction of the spout (50) and an aft member (16) and a support member (30) of the guide, cooperates with a free edge (52) of the spout (50) to rotate the tube (60) into position for advancement into the laryngeal opening (82) and the trachea (96).

To facilitate rapid, accurate, blind access to the larynx or esophagus such as for emergency intubation of a patient's trachea and suctioning of the hypopharynx or esophagus, a medical device (10) includes an anatomically contoured guide element (12) having a channel (22) therethrough. Guide element (12) is positioned about and atop the larynx such that the wall of the channel forms an upward continuation of the laryngeal wall. An orotracheal tube (18) advanced through the channel is guided exclusively into the larynx and trachea without substantial risk of accidental intubation of the esophagus or other areas of the hypopharynx. Tunnels (150, 160) may be provided through the guide element for blindly guiding or aiming other tubular-type members selectively into the esophagus or larynx. A tubular handle (14) or curved blade (454) is connected to the guide element (12) to blindly insert guide element (12) into the throat. Alternative embodiments (310, 350, 410, 450) of medical device (10) are also described.

The present invention relates to a medical device which facilitates rapid, accurate, blind access to the larynx and/or esophagus such as for emergency intubation of a patient's trachea and simultaneous suctioning of the hypopharynx or esophagus. Disclosed is a disposable, one-piece, anatomically contoured guide element having a channel therethrough, the guide element being releasably mounted at the end of a curved blade and handle, which is used to blindly insert the guide element into the throat. When properly seated in the pharynx and hypopharynx, the guide element is positioned about and atop the larynx such that the wall of the channel forms a substantially gap-free junction with and upward continuation of the tubular wall of the laryngeal opening so that an orotracheal tube advanced downward through the channel will be guided exclusively into the larynx and trachea without substantial risk of accidental intubation of the esophagus or other areas of the hypopharynx. Also disclosed are provision of tunnels through the guide element for blindly guiding and/or aiming other tubular-type members into the esophagus or larynx as desired.
