Your Guide to The King Vision Video Laryngoscope: The Next Step in Airway Management

March 9, 2022January 2, 2022 by Corinthian Dieter

A laryngoscope is an optical device that makes it possible for the user to see, observe and diagnose a patient’s upper airways. With this knowledge, a doctor or healthcare provider can better diagnose issues of the larynx, upper airway, and vocal cords, as well as be prepared for surgical operations. A laryngoscope is also used in anesthesiology to assist with the insertion of an endotracheal tube, or ET tube, down the trachea to help the patient breathe, a process known as intubation.

Laryngoscopy is a vital procedure for emergency medical workers in the field when they need to perform an intubation. EMS personnel may encounter any kind of airway emergency in the field: severe injury, asthmatic emergency, or an allergic reaction. Proper visualization of the victim’s vocal cords and ET Tube placement are critical.

The King Vision Video Laryngoscope simplifies these processes by providing the user with a clear picture of the patient’s airway structures and the surrounding soft tissue with its on-board video monitor.
