摘要：
A system for facilitating an endotracheal intubation may include a video laryngoscope (VL) apparatus and an intubation device guidance system integrate with or separate from the VL apparatus. The VL apparatus may include a VL body and a video camera. The intubation device guidance system may include one or more magnetometers arranged relative to the video laryngoscope body and configured to generate magnetometer signals based on an interaction with one or more magnetic elements associated with an intubation device. The intubation device guidance system may also include a processor communicatively coupled to the one or more magnetometers and configured to calculate position information regarding the intubation device relative to the video laryngoscope apparatus based on the magnetometer signals. An information output device may be provided to output information to a user indicating or based on the calculated position information regarding the intubation device.
