A system for imaging the human airway during the intubation procedure incorporates a malleable stylet which retains its shape when bent, in order to facilitate intubation of a patient. In a preferred embodiment, a solid metal stylet, for example, a conventional endotracheal stylet, can be utilized. The intubation scope allows for a user to utilize conventional techniques for the insertion of an endotracheal tube, reducing the training needed for use of the subject intubation scope. The imaging scopes also incorporate at least one illumination fiber to convey light to the distal tip of the subject imaging scopes, for illumination of the objects to be imaged.

La présente invention concerne un système permettant l'imagerie des voies aériennes de l'homme pendant la procédure d'intubation. Ce système intègre un stylet malléable qui conserve sa forme lorsqu'il est courbé de façon à faciliter l'intubation du patient. Selon une réalisation préférée, on peut utiliser un stylet de métal rigide, par exemple un stylet conventionnel pour tube endotrachéal. L'endoscope d'intubation permet à un utilisateur d'employer les techniques conventionnelles pour l'insertion du tube endotrachéal, ce qui réduit d'autant l'apprentissage lié à l'utilisation de l'endoscope d'intubation de l'invention. Ces endoscopes à imagerie intègrent également au moins une fibre d'éclairage acheminant la lumière jusqu'à l'extrémité distale des endoscopes à imagerie de l'invention, ce qui permet d'éclairer les objets concernés par l'imagerie.
