    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present invention disclose a multi-camera intubation device for video-guided intubation. Video-guided intubation enhances the safety and success of intubation in medical practice by allowing practitioners to observe obstructions during intubation techniques, such as oropharygolaryngoscopy. A first camera supports visualization of the glottis while minimizing neck hyperextension and patient stimulation; a second camera vastly decreases the incidence of injury to the soft palate, palatopharyngeal arch, palatoglossal arch, and tonsil during passage of a rigid tube, such as a styleted endotracheal tube (ETT). This second camera would provide a real-time view of a patient's internal structures, for example, pharyngeal inlet, and thereby guide a safe, atraumatic intubation.
