0 a device for examining the larynx (= the organ containing the muscles that create the human voice or animal sounds), or for putting a tube into the throat: --
A laryngoscope is used to expose the epiglottis.
Intubation is normally facilitated by using a conventional laryngoscope, flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope or video laryngoscope to identify the glottis, though other devices and techniques are available.
He was one of the first physicians to use the laryngoscope and the ophthalmoscope.
In contrast to the conventional laryngoscope, these devices allow the laryngoscopist to indirectly view the larynx.
The equipment and drugs for the intubation are planned, including the endotracheal tube size, the laryngoscope size, and drug dosage.
Investigations include arterial blood gas analysis, fibre optic laryngoscope or bronchoscope.
He demonstrated the possibility of applying remedies into the larynx and throat assisted by a laryngoscope.
After replacement with a laryngoscope of adjusted size, intubation proceeded normally.
While there he designed and patented a surgical laryngoscope with a triangular opening, which allowed doctors to see previously obscured areas of the throat.
