Abstract: A sensing means attachable to a blade (41) of a laryngoscope (40) comprising a transducer (10) and an indicator means (11). The transducer comprises at least a layer of a polymeric material (12) that undergoes a change in resistivity in response to incident pressure thereon. The change in resistivity is useable by the indicator means (11) to provide an output at least indicative of the incident pressure. A laryngoscope (40) having a LED-type light source (46) is also described. A laryngoscope having a transducer mounted to or incorporated on the handle is also described.
