Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed herein for generating and sending priority alert notifications based on medical information, such as, for example, medical information obtained from analyzing medical images. In one embodiment, the method comprises: determining, using an image analysis engine, whether one or more features in a medical image of a patient meet predefined criteria, the predefined criteria being indicative of a medical condition; determining, using the image analysis engine, whether an alert notification is to be sent regarding results of determining whether the one or more features in the medical image meet the predefined criteria; and sending the alert notification with indicia indicative of a priority level if the one or more features in the medical image meet the predefined criteria, including sending medical information that prompted the image analysis engine to send the notification at the priority level.

Abstract: This laryngoscope has a cylindrical metal casing serving as a handle. An insulated, plastic blade is rotatably mounted near one end thereof on the casing between angularly spaced operating and nonoperating positions. A blade projects from the blade assembly to depress a patient's tongue. Batteries in the casing apply positive electric polarity to an electrode on the casing and negative electric polarity to the casing. A lensed end lamp having a bulb, base and end terminal is mounted on the blade assembly with the terminal in contact with a leaf spring which in turn contacts the electrode when the assembly is rotated to an operating position. A flange on the casing contacts the lamp base to complete a power supply circuit when the blade assembly is rotated to the operating position for lighting the lamp bulb. A light conductive rod extends from the lamp bulb to project light into the patient's larynix while the blade depresses the patient's tongue.
