  • INTUBATING AIRWAY FOR BRONCHOSCOPIC TRACHEAL INTUBATIONS
    Publication number: 20230099657
    Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure can include an intubating airway. The intubating airway can include a first having a first guiding surface and a second articulating component that is attached to the first component via a hinge and has a second guiding surface. In a closed configuration, the first and second guiding surfaces can be flush with one another so that the first and second components collectively define a conduit having an interior passage that is dimensioned to direct a fiber-optic scope or an endotracheal tube extending through the interior passage for tracheal intubation. In an open configuration, the first and second guiding surfaces are not flush with one another so that no such conduit is formed.
