An improved laryngoscope of the type having a handle for grasping and a blade being rigid and extending from the handle for inserting into the mouth of a patient during use. The improvement includes the blade being so shaped for contacting, supporting, and displacement of the bottom of the mouth of the patient and not bearing on the lower teeth of the patient so as to avoid damage to the lower teeth of the patient during use and so as to allow the lower jaw of the patient to be opened during use and being so shaped for contacting the front of the lower jaw of the patient so as to allow the lower jaw of the patient to be thrust forwardly during use.

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.

A laryngoscope, for use in intubating a patient's trachea, especially in emergency situations. The laryngoscope has a camera mounted in the vicinity of a distal end of its blade to observe the patient's trachea opening and other oral internal structures in a visual field. The camera is connected, typically via a fiberoptic cable, to a lightweight portable television screen, preferably mounted on the laryngoscope handle, for displaying the visual field to the a Professional Intubator so as to enable him or her to observe continuously the trachea opening and other oral internal structures as he or she manipulates the intubating instrument. The laryngoscope with the camera and screen thereon preferably is held in one of the Professional Intubator's hands to lift and move aside the patient's tongue steadily and constantly. The other hand of the Professional Intubator then is free to manipulate the intubating instrument. Mounting the camera and the screen on the laryngoscope, which remains quite steady, provides the Professional Intubator with a continuous steady display of the trachea opening and other oral internal structures on the screen while the intubator also sees directly down the patient's mouth.

This patent will describe a method whereby sensitive instruments can be protected from damage and contamination. Sensitive instruments that need to be sterilized after use is a major problem for the medical field. Most camera systems fall into that category, limiting their use and denying the public the benefit of their use. The presently available protection/sterilization methods, such as autoclaving or sterilization solutions, would result in electrical damage to the camera or are totally impractical, such as nitrous oxide or radiation, for many potential camera applications.

The portable handheld medical diagnostic tool incorporates camcorder technology and combines multiple diagnostic attachments commonly use by physicians and medical personnel. When attached with various portable instruments, it can be a powerful tool for teaching, diagnostics, therapy of illnesses by virtue of real-time video, audio and other sensory feed on the portable handheld medical diagnostic tool. Video, audio and sensory data can then be transfer to computers or other electronic systems for medical presentation and training or for medical diagnostics. This ability is presently not available.
