Abstract: A video laryngoscope for managing the airway in an individual in need thereof, comprising: a substantially curved handle. The handle comprises an internal cavity which is open along its entire length on one of its sides and has a cap on the opposite side. Said cavity houses a blade of the video laryngoscope when it is folded over the handle, which is rotatably mounted to rotate 180° about the axis of symmetry of the handle by means of a pivot axis of a movable blade support that houses an automatic locking mechanism. The movable blade is connected to the support by means of a longitudinal slide and runs on the slide activating a lock of an extension-retraction mechanism. A monitor chassis is mounted at the proximal end of the handle that includes a TFT-LCD screen covered by a protective plate, the screen being connected to a printed circuit board comprising a plurality of image-adjustment controls and an on/off switch, connected respectively to four push-buttons sticking out through the monitor chassis.

Abstract: A protective barrier for face isolation in orotracheal maneuvers, comprising: an essentially rectangular sheet made of a clear plastic material comprising, on its back side, a plurality of first circumferentially arranged fastening means and second cross-sectionally arranged fastening means substantially dividing the sheet in half thereby defining two sections; and at least four sleeves made of a clear plastic material affixed to the sheet in one of the sections defined by the second cross-sectionally arranged fastening means defining an outwardly open arc, wherein said sleeves comprise third fastening means arranged internally and circumferentially on the distal ends of each of the sleeves.
