 The Isomorphic Laryngoscope
X-ray images of laryngoscope blade insertions during laryngoscopy (in patients who were easy or difficult to intubate) have demonstrated the importance of the space behind the mandible and in front of the blade.
Figure 2 illustrates the concept of the laryngoscope: a blade with a proximal portion (LA), an apex (A), and a distal portion (AT).
The proposed laryngoscope was developed as an improvement on the curved blade, but it can be used in the manner of a straight blade simply by further extending the distal portion.

As the presented video-intubating laryngoscope consists of a disposable plastic laryngoscope with a bore hole and a reusable video-endoscopic system, different sizes and types of such plastic laryngoscopes could be used with a single optic-system cost-effectively for routine tracheal intubation.
Preliminary, limited experiences in patients with direct laryngoscopic view Grade II and III (classification by Cormack and Lehane) showed, that the video-display from the distal blade gives an better view of the cords and the patients were intubated under monitor control without forced laryngoscopy or head-neck manipulations (Fig 9).

 AIRTRAQ Laryngoscope - Airway Device Difficult Airway Tutorials
The AIRTRAQ single-use optical laryngoscope is designed to provide a view of the glottic opening without aligning the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes.
Compared to the MacIntosh laryngoscope in simulated easy laryngoscopy scenarios, there was no difference between the AIRTRAQ and the MacIntosh in success of tracheal intubation.
Also because the view through the AIRTRAQ is less panoramic than during regular intubation, it is harder to correct during laryngoscopy if you are not entering the mouth perfectly in the midline.

 Anaesthesia UK : Single-use laryngoscope blades
Thirty-four of 44 (77%) laryngoscope blades taken from the operating theatres, six of seven (86%) from the overnight intensive recovery room and all 10 (100%) from the wards were stained.
The performance of five laryngoscopes during easy intubation (P<0.01) and four during difficult intubation (P<0.001) was significantly worse than that of the Macintosh.
During the difficult intubation simulation, the reusable Macintosh laryngoscope needed less use of a bougie and had fewer failed intubations than the single-use laryngoscopes, but these differences did not reach statistical significance.

 Review: Viewmax Laryngoscope
By looking into the eyepiece and through the view tube, I was provided a view of the vocal cords that I could not see with a traditional blade.
Therefore, the space needed to pass the tube is the same as if one were using a traditional laryngoscope blade.
This product certainly gets the thumbs up from me. I feel it is an excellent addition to the medic’s airway bag because it is an outstanding device for the difficult airway, or for use on a routine basis.
