An electronic laryngoscope comprises a camera module (1) with a camera, a hollow connecting rod (3), a handle (6), and a control display module. The front end of the connecting rod (3) is connected to the camera module (1), the rear end of the connecting rod (3) is connected to the handle (6), and the rear end of the handle (6) is connected to the control display module. The electronic laryngoscope further comprises a hollow tube (2) whose inner diameter is greater than the outer diameter of the connecting rod (3). The camera module (1) and the connecting rod (3) are located on the inner side of the hollow tube (2). A sputum suction opening (4) is formed between the front end of the hollow tube (2) and the front end of the camera module (1), and a sputum passage (4) in communication with the sputum suction opening (5) is formed between the hollow tube (2) and the connecting rod (3). The electronic laryngoscope further comprises a connecting apparatus for connecting the hollow tube (2) to the camera module (1) and/or the connecting rod (3). The electronic laryngoscope can rapidly and effectively remove sputum or dirt on the periphery of the camera.
