摘要：
Apparatuses for guiding an endotracheal tube during intubation and associated methods of their use the apparatuses formed to contain a plastic element able to hold deformations so as to conform the apparatus to the shape of a patients endotracheal airway. The plastic element has sufficient give so as to minimize traumatic engagement with the inner surface of the airway lumen. Methods for using the apparatuses exploit indirect visualization where the person performing the intubation can shape the apparatuses so as to place the distal end into the field of view of the indirect visualization instrument even with minimal alignment of the patients airway.
