The present invention provides an intubation device including a nasal endotracheal tube having a proximal, relative to a person inserting the nasal endotracheal tube, end and a distal end; and an introducer including an elongated member having a proximal open end and a distal blunt end, the introducer proximal open end including a hollow mouth having sidewalls for receiving and holding the distal end of the endotracheal tube. The dilator / introducer is simply a tube, solid or hollow having a hollow proximal end that will hold a distal end of a nasal endotracheal tube in place. It will act as a dilator, and once the distal end of the endotracheal tube is past the nasopharynx and is visualized in the oropharynx, the "dilator" is removed and typically discarded. A method of use of the intubation device is also disclosed.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'intubation comportant un tube trachéal nasal comprenant une extrémité proximale, par rapport à la personne introduisant le tube trachéal nasal, et une extrémité distale ; et un introducteur comprenant un organe de forme allongée comprenant une extrémité proximale ouverte et une extrémité distale émoussée, l'extrémité ouverte proximale de l'introducteur comprenant une ouverture creuse présentant des parois latérales pour recevoir et maintenir l'extrémité distale du tube trachéal. Le dilatateur/introducteur est un simple tube, solide ou creux présentant une extrémité proximale creuse qui va maintenir en place une extrémité distale du tube trachéal nasal. Ledit tube va agir comme un dilatateur, et une fois l'extrémité distale du tube trachéal a dépassé le nasopharynx et est visualisée dans l'oropharynx, le dilatateur est retiré et typiquement enlevé. L'invention concerne également un procédé d'utilisation du dispositif d'intubation.
