Abstract
Tracheal intubation may be hindered by difficulty in insertion of the laryngoscope blade into the patient's mouth because the handle impinges on the patient's chest or on the hand of an assistant applying cricoid pressure. An adaptor is described which modifies the standard Penlon laryngoscope to enable lateral swivelling of the handle, thus avoiding the obstruction.Keywords
